Black "Patent" Malt

Category:
Grain
Type:
Roasted Malt
Stage:
Mash
Color Range:
500 - 600
Notes:
Black "patent" malt is the blackest of the black and is mainly used for color. It should be used sparingly, generally less than 0.5 lb. per 5 gal. As well as contributing color, black malt is useful for setting a "limit" on the sweetness of other beer styles that use a lot of caramel malt; 1-2 oz./5 gal. is useful for this purpose.
