Frequently asked questions about BEST Acid Malt
How much BEST Acid Malt should I use?
Bestmalz states that BEST Acid Malt can make up to 5% of the grist. It suits all beers where the mash pH needs optimising.
What does acidulated malt do in the mash?
Acidulated malt lowers the pH of the mash. This gives higher enzyme activity, a better yield and better flavour stability. The ideal mash pH is 5.2–5.6.
Will acidulated malt make the beer sour?
No, not with normal use. According to Bestmalz, the pH of the wort and beer is not usually reduced, because more buffering substances are also formed.
Can I get the malt crushed?
Yes. You choose whole or crushed malt when you order. Malt keeps best uncrushed, so if you have your own mill, crush it just before brewing.
