Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt 50 lb

This 50 lb sack of Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt supports high-volume homebrew clubs, nano brewing, and brewery inventory planning with consistent sack-size supply.

Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt 50 lb is a high quality American base malt produced from carefully selected 2-row spring barley. Designed for brewers seeking consistency, efficiency, and versatility, it delivers a clean malt profile with subtle notes of sweet grain, fresh bread, and light crackers. Its neutral character makes it an ideal foundation for a wide range of beer styles, allowing hops, yeast, and specialty malts to take center stage.

In the brewing process, Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt provides the fermentable sugars and enzymatic power needed for efficient starch conversion. Its strong diastatic power makes it a great option for recipes containing adjuncts such as corn, rice, oats, or unmalted grains. The result is excellent extract efficiency and a clean, crisp malt backbone.

What makes Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt unique compared to Briess Pale Ale Malt is its lighter kilning and more neutral flavor profile. While Briess Pale Ale Malt develops deeper toasted bread, biscuit, and nutty notes that contribute additional malt complexity, Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt remains cleaner and more restrained. This makes it especially valuable in hop forward styles such as American IPAs, Double IPAs, Cream Ales, and light lagers where brewers want maximum fermentability and a subtle malt presence rather than pronounced malt flavor. Pale Ale Malt is often chosen when a richer malt character is desired, while 2-Row Brewers Malt excels as a versatile, all purpose base malt that provides a blank canvas for recipe design.

Whether used as the sole base malt or combined with specialty grains, Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt delivers the clean flavor, reliable performance, and brewing flexibility that have made it one of the most widely used base malts in American craft brewing.
