Profile
Unmalted Triticale is a versatile grain that has gained popularity in beer brewing for its unique flavor profile and impact on taste. With a combination of wheat and rye characteristics, it brings a subtle earthiness and nuttiness to the beer, adding complexity to the overall flavor. The use of Unmalted Triticale in brewing influences the taste by providing a slightly spicy note along with hints of caramel and bread-like flavors.
In beer brewing, Unmalted Triticale is primarily used as an adjunct grain. It contributes to the body, mouthfeel, and head retention of the beer while enhancing its aroma and flavor without overpowering other ingredients. Its properties make it particularly suitable for Belgian-style beers such as saisons or farmhouse ales where it complements fruity esters produced by yeast fermentation. Additionally, Unmalted Triticale can be utilized in experimental brews or mixed with malted grains to create unique recipes that showcase its distinctive attributes.
