Features
Two row spring malting barley is selected for the production of our Château Distilling malt. Barley is steeped to 44 - 46% moisture, slightly higher than normally required for Pilsen lager style malts. Germination temperatures are controlled between 12°C - 16°C for a period of five days. Kiln cycles start at 50° - 60°C rising to 70° - 75°C.
Characteristics
This is a premium Distilling malt produced especially for the distilling industry. It is used for the production of quality grain whisky. Château Distilling malt promotes high fermentability, adequate enzyme potential and soluble nitrogen (protein) levels. Our Château Distilling malt is gently kilned to preserve enzymes and maximise fermentability.
Usage
Any type of whisky, real Scotch whisky. Up to 100% of the mix.
Storage and Shelf life
Malt should be stored in a clean, cool (< 22 °C), dry (< 35 RH %) and pest free environment. If these conditions are observed, we recommend using all whole kernel products within 24 months from the date of manufacture and all milled products within 3 months. Improperly stored malts can lose freshness and flavor.
Packaging
Bulk; Bulk in Liner Bag in Container; Bags (25kg, 50kg); Big Bags (400-1 250kg) All types of packaging – in 20’ or 40’ containers for export
