2-Row Malt

The most commonly used base malt in all-grain or partial-mash brewing.  2-row malt has a neutral flavour making it ideal for use in beers where hops or yeast produce the majority of the desired flavours.

2-row typically has a high protein content and a thick husk which is rich in polyphenols (tannins), which can lead to protein haze and astringency. Additionally, 2-row tends to be lower in enzyme and protein levels and has a thinner husk than the 6-row malt.

Typical Beer Style(s): Any, Pale Ale, IPA, Cream Ale

Maximum Recommended Usage: Up to 100%

Possible Substitution(s): Maris Otter, Golden Promise, Pilsner, Vienna
