Specialty Malt for Enhanced Body and Head Retention

Rahr Dextrin Malt is a specialty malt designed to enhance the body, mouthfeel, and head retention of your beer without adding significant color or sweetness. This malt is a perfect addition for brewers looking to improve the texture and stability of their beers, especially in lighter beer styles where maintaining a full mouthfeel and foamy head can be challenging. Rahr Dextrin Malt is versatile and can be used in many beer styles, providing a subtle but important contribution to your brew.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

While Rahr Dextrin Malt has a very mild flavor profile, it contributes significantly to the body and texture of the beer. It imparts a smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel without affecting the beer’s overall flavor or aroma. This malt is designed to add dextrins, which help create a fuller body and improve foam stability.

Typical Usage

Rahr Dextrin Malt is ideal for use in a variety of beer styles, from light lagers and pale ales to stouts and porters. It can be used in small amounts, typically 5-10% of the grain bill, to boost mouthfeel and head retention. Because it doesn’t add color or flavor, it is especially useful in lighter beer styles where body enhancement is desired without altering the overall character of the beer.
