Sugar Creek 6-row pale malt is a malt that has higher diastatic power than standard 2-row pale malt, which makes it the perfect for beers high in adjuncts like wheat, rye, and corn. With higher diastatic power, Six row malt helps convert mashes high in adjuncts, such as cream ales. Six row also has more husk material to aid in filtering the mash and preventing stuck sparges. Adjunct beers can benefit from the added husk material for better lautering, and the added enzymatic activity of 6-row can help convert adjuncts like corn, rice and pumpkin in beer. Locally-malted Sugar Creek 6-row malt delivers both excellent quality and superior flavor!
