Features
Acidulated malt can be used for mash pH adjustments. It may also be used to "cheat" at making a Berliner Weiss style sour beer.
pH: 3.4 to 3.6
Lovibond: 1.7 to 2.8
Rate: 1 - 5 % (10% for sour styles)
Reduction of wort-pH leads to:
- a better mash efficiency
- better fermentation
- lighter color. Eg. Pilsner styles
- improved flavor stability
- well-rounded beer flavor
