Full-Flavored Base Malt for Malt-Forward Beers

Rahr Pale Ale Malt is a robust base malt made from 2-row barley, specifically designed for brewers looking to craft malt-forward beers with rich depth and flavor. Known for its slightly darker color compared to standard 2-row malts, Rahr Pale Ale Malt imparts a rich, malty sweetness with hints of biscuit and toasted bread, making it ideal for a variety of ale styles. This malt is perfect for pale ales, IPAs, amber ales, and other styles that require a strong malt backbone.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

This malt offers a full, malty flavor with subtle nutty, biscuit, and lightly toasted notes. Rahr Pale Ale Malt brings a deeper color, typically ranging from 3-4L, contributing a rich golden to light amber hue to your beer. The malt sweetness is balanced, providing complexity without overpowering the hops or other ingredients.

Typical Usage

Rahr Pale Ale Malt is an excellent base malt for a wide range of ale styles. It provides both the enzymatic strength to convert adjuncts and a rich malt profile for fuller-bodied beers. This malt is typically used at 70-100% of the grain bill and can serve as the foundation for more complex recipes with additional specialty malts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer grain milling services?

Yes, we provide grain milling services free of charge before shipping. To have your grain milled, please select the "Yes, please mill my grain" option on each grain product before adding it to your cart. We use a high-end, 3-roller mill from Spike, set to a standard gap of 4.5, which achieves optimal cracking while minimizing excessive flour. If you prefer a coarser or finer mill, leave a note in the shopping cart, and we’ll adjust it to your preference.

If we notice that most grains were selected for milling but a few were not, we will assume it was an oversight and mill all of them. If your intention is different, please clarify in the shopping cart notes section.

How do you ensure accuracy when weighing grains?

We take great care to ensure that you receive the correct grains in the exact quantities needed for your recipe. Our multi-step process ensures precision, starting with weighing each grain type individually to an accuracy of 0.08 ounces. After that, we perform a final check by weighing the combined total to confirm accuracy. Your total grain weight will always be slightly over the ordered amount, never under, and always within an acceptable range for even the most detail-oriented brewers (like ourselves).

How are grains packaged before shipment?

We provide a convenient recipe-building tool to streamline the process for you, our team, and the environment. We encourage you to use this tool to build your recipes, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve ordered in the correct quantities. By combining all the grains for a single recipe into one bag, we help speed up your brew day, reduce packaging waste, and save time during order fulfillment. Rest assured, we prioritize accuracy when measuring and packing your grains.
