American 6-Row Pale Malt
High-enzyme American base — workhorse for adjuncts.
Description
Higher in protein and diastatic power than 2-row, with a slightly grainier flavor. Historically the workhorse of large American breweries because the extra enzymes convert corn and rice adjuncts. Useful in classic American lagers, cream ales, and pre-Prohibition styles.
