Malted faba bean Sprau®

Malted faba bean Sprau®

Glass of cold beer made with Viking Malt's pale ale malt

MALT CHARACTER 

Sprau® brings flavors that are typically associated with low colored malts. Due to its naturally high protein content, it supports foam formation and is an excellent choice when hazy beers are in target. As Sprau® wort is excellent nutrition for yeast, it supports yeast metabolism, while fermentation by-products tend to be on the low side. This is very beneficial in the production of hoppy beers such as Pale Ales and Indian Pales Ales, where low fermentation by-product levels are desired. In addition, Sprau® boosts bitterness intensity.

APPLICATIONS 

Especially for Pale Ales, Indian Pale Ales, New England Pale Ales but also for many kinds of beers, also for low or no alcohol beers. Vicia faba L. gelatinization temperature is ~70-80 °C which should be noted.

Dosage rate suggestion from 5 to 15% from total malt bill.
