Acidulated Malt - Weyermann

Weyermann Acidulated Malt provides a natural way to fine-tune mash pH while enhancing flavor brightness, clarity, and fermentation quality. Produced by applying lactic acid to barley malt, it gently lowers mash pH and supports enzyme activity, helping brewers achieve cleaner, crisper beer with improved stability. Its very light color contribution allows it to integrate into delicate styles without affecting appearance.

With a color rating of 0.9–2.3° Lovibond, Acidulated Malt remains nearly neutral in color while adding a subtle, refreshing tartness that can elevate the overall balance of the finished beer. Brewers frequently use it in Pilsners, Wheat Beers, Sours, and Gose to sharpen flavor definition and refine mouthfeel. Its controlled acidity helps manage alkaline water, reduces harshness, and supports consistent fermentation results across different brewing conditions.

Acidulated Malt can be incorporated in small percentages to make incremental pH adjustments or used at higher levels in styles that benefit from gentle acidity. It blends smoothly with base malts, offering a predictable method for dialing in mash performance without relying solely on liquid acids or mineral salts. Its flavor-neutral profile makes it suitable for classic lagers as well as contemporary sour styles.

For brewers seeking a simple, natural approach to managing mash pH and improving beer clarity and crispness, Weyermann Acidulated Malt provides reliable functionality and versatility across a wide range of recipes.
