Roasted Barley - Weyermann® 25kg

Roasted Barley / Orge torréfié

Roasted barley's high degree of heat produces a deep black color and coffee- and cocoa-like aromas. The difference with roasted malts such as Carafa® is that roasted barley is not malted. This characteristic brings with it some subtleties in taste and texture, notably dryness and a little more bitterness.

Roasted Barley can be used as the only roasted bean in a recipe, or in combination with other dark beans. It is, for example, the only roasted component in Guinness. It is very useful in stouts or porter where a dry character is desired. It is also useful in recipes where you want to color the beer without adding too much caramelized flavor. For example, at 1%, it brings color and dryness to a good Irish Red Ale or Bitter.

In combination with roasted malts, it brings balance, especially in terms of texture. In short, roasted barley is a very versatile grain in terms of taste and structure.
