Flavour and description
Smoked malts are produced from 2-row spring malting barley, null-LOX variety. The flavors of these malts are similar to a pilsner malt, with a rather strong smoky flavor depending on type of wood used for smoking. We can use apple, beech, cherry, sweet cherry and pear wood delivered from ecological, clean areas. Due to relatively low processing temperatures, enzymatic activities and other good brewing properties are maintained. The smokiness of our malts is relatively low, so they should be used in large doses, almost like Pilsner Malt. In the brewing Smoked Malts can be considered as a pilsner malt with a special aroma, as the smoky flavor and taste profile is not too overwhelming. Smoked Malts can be also used in bakeries as a spice.
