Muntons Black Malt - 1 LB Bag of Grain

Munton's Black Malt (also called Black Patent Malt) is a malt made by taking fully modified pale malt and roasting it to the point of carbonizing. It is colored to a higher degree than Chocolate Malt in the roasting process. Black Malt has no diastatic activity and no fermentable extract and is simply used to add flavor and color in dark beers such as milds, porters and stouts. Sometimes described as bitter and astringent, Black Malt can also lend deep, rich fruit notes of currant and plum when balanced with other crystal and specialty malts. Black Malt can also contribute dryness to beer.  Lovibond 470-560.
