Features | Malted from buckwheat, a pseudo-cereal*, Château Buckwheat Nature malt is used to produce organic gluten-free beer. Château Buckwheat Nature malt may contain traces of other malt grains containing gluten. *Pseudocereals are broadleaf plants (non-grasses) that are used in much the same way as cereals (true cereals are grasses). Their seed can be ground into flour and otherwise used as cereals. Examples of pseudocereals are amaranth, quinoa, and buckwheat. |
Characteristics | Château Buckwheat Nature is used in the production of organic gluten-free beer. Adds a particular nutty and malty flavor to your beer. It also can be used in specialty beers to render a rich and deep tone. NB! Buckwheat malt has no diastatic power. |
Usage | Any type of organic gluten-free beer. Up to 40% of the mix. |
Storage and Shelf life | Malt should be stored in a clean, cool (< 22 °C), dry (< 35 RH %) and pest free environment. If these conditions are observed, we recommend using all whole kernel products within 24 months from the date of manufacture and all milled products within 3 months. Improperly stored malts can lose freshness and flavor. |
