2-Row Brewers Malt

2-Row Brewers malt is the standard foundation for most beers. It provides a clean, balanced source of fermentable sugars along with reliable enzymatic power, which is what allows starches in the grain to be converted into sugars during the mash. In practical terms, this means 2-Row contains the natural enzymes needed to break down both its own starches and, in many cases, those of other grains you include in your recipe.

You can expect a mild malt character with subtle notes of grain, bread, and light sweetness. Its neutral profile allows hops, yeast, and specialty grains to take the lead, making it ideal for everything from hop-forward ales to clean lagers. If you are building a recipe from the ground up, 2-Row Brewers malt is often the starting point.
