Beer School: what is malt? | The Craft Beer Channel
We may all rave about hops most of the time, but without malt there would be no beer. This week we head to Muntons, one of the UK's leading maltsters to learn more about the grains that go in our beer. We see out how it's harvested and made - as well as what makes great malt and how it's used.
Huge thanks to Muntons for the tour and Burnt Mill for the beers!

Love it! As you said, malt is so often ignored when hops are more sexy and yeast in more recent years has become the cool kid on the block. Great series😊

Please keep doing these videos! A regular video like this would be ideal - ingredients, beer types, adjuncts, traditions, the actual brewing process etc It was fantastic seeing you just up the road from my ends in sunny Suffolk. Burnt Mill deserve the lime light, excellent brewer.

Great episode - thanks guys! It’s strange how malt has been overlooked to the extent it has. I guess we just take for granted high quality, flavoursome malt and focus on the development of exciting flavours in hops. Have you guys already made an episode about Bamberg? Some incredible malt-forward beers brewed there and some interesting techniques used e.g. Mahrs Bräu Ungespundet to achieve a softer carbonation. Cheers!

@TheCraftBeerChannel 5 жыл бұрын

We havent made a Bamberg episode but we are in the midst of organising it! We are huge Mahrs and Schlenkerla fans. Malt has so much more variation than drinkers give it credit for so we want to show that much more after our experience at Muntons.

@tyrannosaurus696 4 жыл бұрын

Great vid. I've found it a bit of a struggle to find a UK IPA that's decently malted and balanced, whereas it seems that US breweries place heavy emphasis on establishing a strong malt backbone in their IPAs before hopping the shit out of it. I've had a fair few IPAs here that tasted like hoppy soda water. I find that a little odd as the UK is known for producing the best malts in the world!

@TheCraftBeerChannel 4 жыл бұрын

I think this is down to choice! Those UK brewers still use that world class UK malt, they just chose those with less intense flavour because they want to focus on hop flavour. American brewers often do the same but they have a richer vein of West Coast style IPA, which is more balanced between malt and hop. Meanwhile NEIPA is all about hop and yeast interplay.
