Lovibond
Lovibond refers to a scale used to measure the color of malt, wort, and beer. It's a visual method, comparing a sample to a series of colored glass discs or color charts. The scale is still widely used, especially for describing the color of malts, and is closely related to the Standard Reference Method (SRM) for measuring beer color. 
Scale from 10°-120°

Flavor Notes

Rahr 6-Row Malt provides a light, grainy, slightly grassy character with subtle golden bread notes. Its flavor is clean and neutral, allowing adjuncts, hops, and yeast character to remain prominent.

Mouthfeel Impact

Creates a crisp, dry finish with moderate body. Its higher protein content may contribute slightly more grain character compared to 2-row malt.

Brewing Performance

  • High diastatic power for strong starch conversion
  • Ideal for recipes using corn or rice adjuncts
  • Supports up to 100% of the grain bill
  • Efficient fermentable sugar production
  • Light color contribution (2.1–2.6°L)

Its elevated enzyme content makes it especially useful in adjunct-heavy and historical American brewing formulations.

Best Used In:

  • American Lager
  • Cream Ale
  • American Light Lager
  • Pre-Prohibition Lager
  • Wheat Beer
  • Historical American Recipes

6-Row Malt is traditionally used in American brewing where adjunct grains require strong enzymatic support. It is especially effective in crisp, clean, highly attenuated beer styles.

In All-Grain Brewing

Use as 60–100% of the grain bill. Ideal when brewing with flaked corn, flaked rice, or other adjuncts that require additional enzymatic strength.

In Partial Mash Brewing

Include as the primary mash grain to ensure full starch conversion when using adjuncts or specialty malts.

In Extract Brewing

6-row malt must be mashed and cannot be steeped alone. Enzymatic conversion is required to extract fermentable sugars.

Pairing Suggestions

Pairs well with:

  • Flaked corn
  • Flaked rice
  • 2-Row malt
  • Light crystal malts
  • Clean American lager yeast
  • Neutral ale yeast
