Root Shoot Malting Chit Malt

Root Shoot Malting's Chit Malt offers brewers a unique, versatile option that enhances head retention, mouthfeel, and body in any beer style. Substituted 1:1 for a dextrin malt, this lightly modified malt retains high levels of beta-glucans and total protein, while still offering some available extract—an advantage over most dextrin malts. Crafted from high-protein raw material, Chit Malt ensures brewers can create beers with depth and character, even in smaller proportions.

More about Root Shoot Malting Chit Malt:

Root Shoot Malting starts with high-protein raw barley, unsuitable for base malt production but perfect for short modification schedules. This results in a malt with high beta-glucan content, elevated protein levels, and just enough extract for added brewing versatility. Ideal for enhancing foam stability and mouthfeel, Chit Malt offers brewers a chance to experiment with unique formulations that retain body and character in the final product.
