Does anyone have a small amount of acid malt I could try?

I do. How much are you looking for?

paulmaybee · January 04, 2015, 04:08:49 PM

I just need a very small amount. like 150-200g?

robcoombs · January 04, 2015, 04:14:53 PM

I think I have at least a pound so you're welcome to what you need.

Sweet Rob, thanks! What have you used it in?

I'm wanting to use a little bit in a Saison, but not so much as to make it a "sour" beer, but just enough to add a bit of tartness or "twang". I'm thinking of adding about 4% acid malt, any other suggestions out there of a good starting place for a small amount or tartness in a Saison?

I've only used it once. In a white IPA with forbidden fruit yeast. @jamie_savoie has a lot of experience with belgians, he may be able to answer your questions regarding use and amount.

PM me to arrange picking it up.

3-4% is my average in most my saison
