Biscuit Malt

Characteristics

Biscuit is a Belgian-originating specialty malt that imparts a breadlike, toast flavor to beer. It should be used as a small percentage of the grist (3 to 10%) and is not well converted - meaning it will need to be mashed with well converted grains to yield its sugars to the brew. At 18 to 30 degrees Lovibond, Biscuit Malt imparts a light to medium warm brown color to your mash.
