Description

A hulless ancient purple barley, malted slightly under-modified and carrying just enough enzyme to convert itself. Solstice warn it is not a beginner’s malt, and the missing husk makes lautering the main thing to plan for. Solstice publish product notes but no analysis; extract, moisture and diastatic figures here are class typicals.
