Toasted / Kilned Malts

Toasted and kilned malts are specialty grains that develop deeper color and flavor through controlled heating, without reaching the intensity of roasted malts. They sit between base malts and roasted malts, adding complexity while still contributing some fermentable sugars. Their starches are available to convert but require enymes from other base malts such as 2-Row, Maris Otter, Pale, or Pilsen.

These malts are known for their warm, layered profiles, including notes of bread crust, toast, biscuit, and light nuttiness. They enhance malt character, build body, and deepen color without adding heavy sweetness or sharp roast. Within this category, you will find a range of malts that help shape balanced, malt-forward beers with added depth and structure.
