Description

What is Château Oat Malt
Château Oat Malt is a specialty malt produced from naked oat kernels, designed to add unique qualities to various beer styles. This malt enriches beer with a distinct smoothness, intensifying the body and creating a luscious mouthfeel that elevates the drinking experience.

How to Use Château Oat Malt
Typically added up to 15% of the grain bill, this malt is ideal for darker beer styles where added depth and body are desired. Brewers incorporate it in the mash to achieve a thick, satisfying texture and enhanced head stability.

Flavour Profile
Expect a pleasant biscuity flavour profile that complements dark malts, with a creamy undertone that brings warmth and body to every sip. Château Oat Malt enriches stouts, porters, and other hearty beer styles with a touch of oat silkiness.

Enzymatic Activity
With low enzymatic activity, Château Oat Malt primarily contributes texture and flavour without significantly impacting the mash's overall fermentability. This makes it a perfect choice for brews that rely on a strong malt backbone and enhanced body.

Mashing
Best suited for infusion mashing, Château Oat Malt can be easily combined with other base malts to create a well-rounded wort, balancing the grain bill for a smooth, creamy brew.

Combining with Other Malts
Pair Château Oat Malt with darker roasted malts to enhance complexity, or with pale base malts for a richer, silkier texture in lighter brews. Its subtle flavour allows it to integrate seamlessly into varied recipes without overpowering other malt character.

Benefits of Château Oat Malt
Its principal advantages include enhancing body, boosting head retention, and imparting a silky texture. The unique structure of naked oat kernels improves the mouthfeel and helps achieve a fuller, more satisfying palate, especially in robust styles.

History
Historically, oats have been used in brewing to add complexity to ales and stouts, known for their body-enriching properties. Château Oat Malt builds on this tradition with a focus on purity and precision in the malting process, bringing classic oat qualities into a refined form for modern brewers.
