Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between base malt and specialty malt?
Base malts provide the fermentable sugars and enzymes needed for conversion and typically make up the majority of your grain bill. Specialty malts add flavor, color, sweetness, or roast character but are usually used in smaller percentages.
Should I buy milled or unmilled grain?
Milled grain is ready to brew immediately. Unmilled grain stays fresher longer and should be crushed just before brewing for optimal flavor and efficiency.
How much specialty malt should I use?
Most specialty malts are used between 3–15% of the grain bill, depending on the style and desired intensity of sweetness, roast, or color.
What are adjunct grains used for?
Adjuncts like flaked oats, rye, or maize enhance body, haze, texture, and flavor complexity without acting as primary base malts.
How do I choose the right malt for my beer style?
Start with a base malt suited to your target style, then layer in specialty malts to adjust sweetness, color, and complexity. Matching Lovibond range and flavor profile to your desired outcome helps maintain balance.
