Dingemans Debittered Black malt is made with an exclusive evaporative process that leaves the malt dark, rich and roasty like a standard black patent malt, but without the bitterness and astringency. As such, it can be used much in the same manner as black patent or other roasted malts. It can be used for color contributions and adding a certain amount of dryness in small amounts, or to add significant color and roasted character in larger amounts. However, due to the processing it undergoes, beers made with debittered black malt will not have the same bitterness. Try this in brown ales, porters, stouts and other styles calling for a deeply roasted malt.
