Bestmalz BEST Smoked Malt

BEST Smoked Malt is a malt from Bestmalz smoked over beechwood, used for beers with a smoky note and also for whisky production.

It gives beer a typical smoky character reminiscent of a campfire and smoked ham. Thanks to its high enzyme activity it can make up the entire grist.

Use in the recipe:

• Adds smoke and smoked-ham aroma
• Can be used as part of the grist or as the whole grist
• Also suitable for whisky

Recommended styles:

• Rauchbier and other smoked beers
• Export
• Wheat beer
• Porter
• Bock

For a first brew, start with about 10% of the grist and increase as needed. The full smoke aroma usually only develops after fermentation and lagering.
