Maltmaster Crushed Black Malt is a heavily roasted specialty grain used to add deep colour, rich roasted flavour, and a dry, slightly bitter finish to dark beers such as stouts, porters, and dark ales. Supplied pre-crushed and ready to use, it removes the need for a grain mill and makes the brewing process more straightforward for home brewers. The 1kg quantity is a practical size for small to medium batches and suits both beginner and experienced all-grain brewers.
