The crowning glory of the IREKS special malts. A solidly dark colour and a full aroma turn this malt into an absolute highlight among the special malts. Produced as a kiln-dried malt and not as a roasted malt, this speciality from the IREKS Company is suitable for enhancing the malt aroma and the colour of dark beers without bringing a roasted taste into the beer which could possibly be perceived as being "rough". Over and above, it gives the beers a rugged taste profile, mainly only achieved by use of the decoction method which requires a great deal of time and effort.

IREKS Sour Malt contains up to 4.5 % natural lactic acid, the reason why it is very well suited for adjusting the pH value of the mash. This benefits the enzyme activities and thus increases the brewhouse yield.
The optimum quantity of addition has to be determined by every brewery individually, as this depends on many factors such as, the quality of the water for brewing, the mashing program and the grist, etc.
