Roasted Barley Briess Oz

The classic grain associated with stouts, Roasted Barley is produced from unmalted 2 - Row barley. Roasted at high temperatures to color ratings of 300L, the grain imparts dry, acrid bitterness while providing roast and coffee flavors to the finished beer. The roasted grain is often utilized to adjust color in lighter hued beers. In small quantities, Roasted Barley, combined with caramel malts, adds an overall deep red color to Irish Reds ales or India Red Ales.
