Canada | 6-Row Malt | per lb

Canada Malting 6-Row Malt is a high-enzyme North American base malt ideal for brewing and distilling applications where strong conversion power is important. Compared with traditional 2-Row base malt, 6-Row barley typically provides greater enzymatic activity, making it especially useful in grain bills containing corn, wheat, rice, and other unmalted or low-enzyme grains.

Its strong diastatic power makes Canada Malting 6-Row an excellent choice for adjunct-heavy beers, wheat beers, and distilling mashes. Distillers can use 6-Row malt as an enzyme-rich component in corn and other grain-based whiskey mashes, helping convert starches into fermentable sugars.

6-Row malt also has a long history in North American brewing, particularly in recipes incorporating significant amounts of corn or rice. Its clean grain character provides a versatile foundation while allowing adjuncts, specialty grains, hops, yeast, or fermentation character to take center stage.
