Description
What is Château Arôme?
Château Arôme is a specialty malt crafted in Belgium with a high-temperature kilning process that intensifies its aromatic qualities. This malt excels in producing full-bodied brews with warm, malty depth, particularly in aromatic and darker beer styles.
How to Use Château Arôme
Used at levels up to 20% in the grist, Château Arôme enhances both aroma and flavour, making it perfect for aromatic ales and complex lagers. Its unique kilning makes it ideal for both partial and full mashes, depending on the desired malt intensity.
Flavour Profile
This malt contributes a rich, malty sweetness with subtle toasty notes. It complements the depth in amber and dark beers, providing a balanced profile that is neither too bitter nor overpoweringly sweet.
Enzymatic Activity
The diastatic power of Château Arôme is significant, allowing for efficient starch conversion in the mash. This unique quality distinguishes it from other specialty malts.
Mashing
Best suited for standard mashing techniques, Château Arôme integrates well with base malts to enhance the malt profile without requiring adjustments to mash temperature.
Combining with Other Malts
Blending Château Arôme with base malts or roasted malts can yield a smooth, refined complexity, enhancing malt body while contributing a subtle aromatic bitterness.
Benefits of Château Arôme
Its high diastatic power allows Château Arôme to provide both flavour and enzymatic support, making it versatile across a range of recipes for both craft and professional brewers.
