SKAGIT SPECIALTY SERIES
Most specialty malts are not made from Single Variety grain. Our maltsters use a single barley variety that best suits the need of each of our specialty malts. This may change from year to year as we’re always working with the crop years to identify signature full flavor characteristics that our customers expect when they buy our specialty malts.
Vienna
Our Vienna malt showcases an intense toasted flavor with a hint of caramel. It can be used up to 100% in a grist due to its higher level of enzymatic power. It is also a great substitute for lighter caramel malts or blended with pale malts across all styles of beers.
Munich
Our Munich malts are high-kilned to develop a more intense Munich flavor while maintaining enough enzymatic power to be used up to 100% in a grist. Traditionally used in pilsners and other lagers, Munich malts can be used as a replacement for lighter caramel malts in modern IPAs.
Super Vienna
Originally a custom malt project, our Super Vienna is the product of pushing the upper limits on a traditional Vienna malt . By increasing the color target of the final kiln step, we are able to create a darker Vienna malt that maintains enzymatic power, allowing it to be used up to 100% in a grist. This malt is outstanding in Octoberfests or other dark lagers and allows for a dryer finish without unfermentable sugars from caramel malts.
Caramel Malts
Our caramel malted barley offers a range of colors with more intense flavors the darker you get. From honey sweet at C-10 to dark caramel, coffee, molasses at C-70. These malts are great to use in beers where specific color and caramel malt character are desired.
Currently offered: C-10, C-30, C-50, and C-70
Triticale Caramel
By taking our Triticale and kilning it we are able to create a line of Triticale Caramel malts. These malts are huskless and contain rich, complex flavors of grape nuts, raisin, dark caramel, prune, and chocolate. Great in beers for an added complex flavor.
Our Triticale Caramel malts are currently offered as C-75.
BruMalt
BruMalt adds a honey flavor to beers when used at 5%-10% of the grist.
Dextrin
Our Dextrin malt is a functional specialty malt. An undermodified malt that is often used to contribute body and head retention to beers by using up to 5% in the grist.
