SAUER MALT PlatinumSwaen Sour Malt (Acidulated Malt) – 1 LB Uncrushed for PH Reduction

Acidulated Malt (Sauer Malt) is a pale malt  that has been acidified with natural lactobacilli being subject to a lactic acid fermentation after kilning and a second finishing drying cycle. The lactic-acid bacteria reside naturally in the malt.  The purpose of acidulated malt is to reduce the pH value of the mash.  Causes an improvement in the action of hydrolytic enzymes and also offers advantages in brewing water with low residual alkalinity.  Use of Acidulated Malt can lower wort pH resulting in better mash efficiency, intensified fermentation, lighter color, improved flavor stability and enhanced flavor.
