Dextrin Malt

Dextrin Malt is a handy little tool to keep up your sleeve – a speciality malt designed to enhance body, mouthfeel and foam stability, while imparting a subtle malty sweetness without adding colour (max 3.5 °EBC). 

It is perfect in beers where a fuller texture and improved head retention are desired without altering the beer’s flavour balance. Specifically, it is useful in very light, hop forward IPAs to balance bitterness, while it’s also great in lower attenuated sweet beers, such as a Mild and Sweet Stout. 

Typically used at 3-10% in the grist, Dextrin Malt is an excellent choice for brewers looking to enhance body and mouthfeel in lighter beers or create a smoother, fuller drinking experience in any style, all without affecting final gravity or sweetness too dramatically.
