Where a brewing base malt is judged mostly on flavor, a distiller's malt is judged on power: this malt carries the diastatic muscle to convert not only itself but a large charge of unmalted grain alongside it, making it the workhorse base for whiskey and single-malt washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an extract potential of 37 PPG and a very pale color of roughly 1.8 °Lovibond, it contributes clean, grain-forward sugar without adding color or heavy malt flavor that would muddy the spirit coming off the still. It is equally at home as a clean, neutral base malt in light lagers and pale ales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor \u0026amp; Aroma Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean, neutral grain character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight, bready sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery pale straw color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh enzymatic (diastatic) power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo roast, caramel, or toast notes to carry into the spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts job is to convert efficiently and disappear, letting the yeast, the cut, and the barrel define the finished spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing \u0026amp; Distilling Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeakeasy Distiller's Malt is built for high-conversion mashes, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-malt and bourbon-style whiskey washes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-adjunct mashes leaning on corn, rye, or wheat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral spirit and moonshine washes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean American lagers and light ales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts high diastatic power lets it carry a substantial percentage of unmalted grain through conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage Recommendations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the sole base in a single-malt wash, Speakeasy is used at up to 100% of the grain bill.
