Canada Malting Oat Malt is a specialty malt made from oats that adds soft grain character, body, mouthfeel, and stable haze to beer. It is particularly well suited to Hazy IPA, New England IPA, Belgian Wit, and other styles where a soft texture and intentionally cloudy appearance are desirable.

At approximately 1.5–3.5° Lovibond, Canada Malting Oat Malt is very pale and can be used without significantly increasing the color of the finished beer. Its mild oat and grain character integrates easily into pale, hop-forward, and wheat-based recipes.

One of the biggest reasons to choose malted oats instead of flaked oats is their brewing performance. Canada Malting produces this Oat Malt for good milling performance and relatively easy lautering, helping brewers incorporate the desirable characteristics of oats while making the grain easier to work with in the mash.

Oat Malt is particularly useful in Hazy IPA and NEIPA, where it can contribute to the soft, full mouthfeel and persistent haze that define the style. It also works beautifully in Belgian Witbier and other wheat beers, where its gentle grain character can complement wheat malt, citrus, spices, and expressive yeast character.

It can also be used creatively in Pale Ale, Saison, Stout, Oatmeal Stout, and other beers when you want to introduce additional body, smooth texture, and subtle oat complexity.
