6 Row Malt - Rahr

Moderate malt flavor. Basic malt for all beer styles. 6-row brewer's malt has more protein and enzyme content than our typical 2-row brewers malt. 6-row brewers malt is thinner than 2-row malt and the 2-row brewer's malt has more carbohydrates. Another difference between 2-row and 6-row brewer's malt, is that 2-row brewer's malt produces a fuller, maltier flavor and 6-row brewer's malt produces a grainier flavor in the finished beer. 6-row barley is only grown in North America. Because of it's high enzyme concentration after malting, adjuncts like rice and corn can be used without causing problems during mash conversion.
