American Malts and Grains

Briess Pilsen malt is an exceptionally light-colored 2-row pilsner malt that produces a pale color and clean, crisp flavor. It is an excellent malt for lager styles but can be used as a base malt for any beer style.

Briess Roasted Barley provides a rich, sharp flavor of dark coffee with a dry finish and deep brown color. It is the iconic flavor found in many stouts and porters and creates a brown-colored head of foam. It can be blended with black malt for darker color and less roasted flavor or blended with chocolate or black malts for subtle color adjustments.

Briess Caramel 60ºL malt is a medium crystal malt made from 2-row barley. It imparts a deep golden color and sweet caramel flavor while adding body and improved head retention. A light use can add a fuller character to pilsners and a heavier use can impart a deep color and rich maltiness to any style of beer. Briess caramel malts are roasted to create glassy, crystallized sugars with rich flavor and color.

Briess Caramel 40ºL malt is a light crystal malt made with 2-row barley. It imparts a golden color, rich sweetness and mild caramel and toffee flavors while adding body and improved head retention. A light use can add a fuller character to pilsners and a heavier use can impart a deep color and rich maltiness to any style of beer. Briess caramel malts are roasted to create glassy, crystallized sugars with rich flavor and color.

Briess Caramel 80ºL malt is a dark crystal malt made with 2-row barley. It imparts a red to deep-red color with flavors of burnt-sugar and raisin while adding body and improved head retention. A light use can add a deep richness to pilsners and a heavier use can impart a deep color and raisiny flavor to any style of beer. Briess caramel malts are roasted to create glassy, crystallized sugars with rich flavor and color.

Briess GoldPils Vienna malt is a flavorful 2-row specialty base malt with a complex flavor and toasted finish. It contributes a golden color, fuller body and an exceptionally clean finish. GoldPils Vienna malt is less modified than pale ale malt and is less intensely kilned than Munich malt. As a result, it delivers a malty flavor with less sweetness than pale ale malt and less color than Munich malt. It has sufficient enzymatic power to include other specialty malts without extending the brewing cycle. This is the perfect malt for classic styles such as Vienna, Oktoberfest and Marzen beers but is also ideal for bock beer, low gravity beers, dark beers and Belgian-style beers.
