Canada Malting • Canada

Rye Malt

At a rate of 10-20%, Canada Malting Rye will lend an interesting gratingly, slightly spicy flavor. As is true of malted wheat, malted rye is higher in protein, higher in beta-glucans and is without an outer hull which can lead to a very sticky mash prone to settling. We suggest brewing with a portion of our Canada Malting 6-Row or rice hulls in your mash to help loosen your grain bed.

Shepherds Delight Malt

Shepherds Delight Malt has a concentrated or intense deeper flavour than our Aurora Malt. It will provide a potent bready, toasted, cola flavour with a lingering fruity sweetness and red hue to the brewed beer. This malt should be used sparingly because it gives a powerful malt flavour to the beer similar to a decoction mash. Using too high a concentration of this malt could lead to bitterness in the final beer. We recommend combining Shepherds Delight Malt with our Vienna Malt to give a balancing sweetness.
