Notes:
Crisp Naked Oat Malt is a malted, hull-less oat from Crisp Malt that adds silky body, soft oat sweetness, and a light toasted-biscuit character without pushing much color into the beer. It is especially useful when you want the mouthfeel benefits of oats in a beer that still needs a clean, pale malt profile.
What does Crisp Naked Oat Malt add to beer?
Use Naked Oat Malt when you want a rounder texture, fuller body, and a smoother finish. Crisp describes this malt as bringing creaminess and mouthfeel with subtle sweetness and gentle grain character, plus a toasted biscuit aroma and palate.
It fits especially well in hazy IPAs, NEIPAs, oaty pale ales, oatmeal stouts, porters, and other full-bodied ales. In hop-forward beers, it helps build the soft texture brewers often want behind juicy hop aroma. In dark beers, it can add a smoother grain impression without the sweetness of a crystal-style oat product.
How to use it
Mash Crisp Naked Oat Malt with the rest of your grain bill. Because oats are high in beta-glucans, very oat-heavy grists can slow runoff. If lautering is a concern, keep the oat load reasonable, use rice hulls when needed, or blend part of the oat addition with flaked oats depending on the beer you are building.
