BEST Red X® is a malt that has become synonymous with red-tinted beers. As it can make at 100% of the grain bill, there is no need to add any other malt. Thanks to its exceptional process reliability and optimal processability, BEST Red X® can be employed to brew consistently fiery beers with intense reddish hues. The malt was designed for a 12°P beer. To retain the red color in stronger beers, some BEST Pilsen Malt should be added to the grain bill due to the higher wort gravity. BEST Red X® complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot.

Special Malt & a go to for Red IPA's

This is a great malt that can be used as a base malt rather than adjunct malt. Really gives some wonderful sweeter malt characteristics, along with a superb red hue. A go to for red ipa's
