Weyermann Sinamar® Liquid Malt Coloring – 4 oz & 5L
Weyermann Sinamar Liquid Malt Coloring
Weyermann Sinamar is a liquid malt color extract used to darken wort or beer without adding the roast bitterness you would get from a larger roasted-grain addition. Weyermann makes Sinamar from CARAFA Special, then debitteres and filters it through a natural process.
Use Sinamar when a beer needs color correction, color adjustment, or deeper dark color while keeping the flavor profile cleaner. Weyermann lists it as pH stable, not causing turbidity, gluten-free, and free of fermentable sugars or alcohol.
How much Sinamar should I use?
Weyermann's dosage guidance is 14 g / 11.9 mL per 1 hL of beer or wort to increase color by 1 EBC. For barrel-scale guidance, Weyermann lists 1.5 oz / 1.25 fl oz per 1 bbl to increase color by 1 degree Lovibond.
Best uses
- Color correction in lager, ale, porter, stout, bock, dark wheat beer, and Black IPA.
- Darkening beer while limiting added roast bitterness.
- Brewhouse, boil, fermentation, or packaging-side color adjustment when the process calls for it.
