Skagit Valley Obsidian Malt by lb.

Description

An exotic landrace variety, originally from Egypt that presents an opportunity to explore unique and interesting variations on wort flavor and more specifically color. Skagit Obsidian is hulless, with a deep purple bran, and distinctive flavors, characteristics and brewing attributes. Obsidian base malt can be used as primary base malt when with rice hull additions, or in percentages similar to a malted wheat in the grain bill. Obsidian’s proteins are relatively high for Skagit Valley (12-14%) but base malts will still provide adequate extract and enzymatic activity.
