Taste & Character
Rahr Dextrin Malt is a specialty malt crafted to improve body, mouthfeel, and foam stability without altering flavor or color. With a very light rating of 1.5–2.0 Lovibond, it maintains the beer’s original hue while adding unfermentable dextrins that enhance fullness and texture in the finished brew.
Where It Shines
This malt is particularly effective in lighter beer styles—such as Pale Ales, Lagers, Blonde Ales, and low-alcohol beers—where added body and smoothness elevate drinkability. Its neutral flavor ensures it can be incorporated without overshadowing the malt or hop character.
Role in the Brewhouse
By contributing unfermentable sugars, Rahr Dextrin Malt boosts viscosity, enhances head retention, and provides a richer mouthfeel. It does so while keeping the beer’s appearance light and bright, making it a valuable adjunct for recipes that risk feeling thin.
Brewer’s Guidance
Use Rahr Dextrin Malt at up to 10% of the grist to increase body and improve foam stability. Its neutral profile makes it easy to integrate into almost any recipe, particularly when fine-tuning texture in beers that need extra depth without added sweetness or color.
