2-Row Brewers Malt - Briess

Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt is a classic American base malt used to produce clean, balanced beers with light color and mild sweetness. Its neutral grain profile and strong enzyme activity make it suitable for nearly any style, from crisp lagers to full-bodied ales. This malt provides a smooth, versatile foundation that supports consistent fermentability and allows hops and specialty grains to stand out.

This malt offers functional advantages for brewers seeking high extract yield and reliable conversion. Its enzymatic strength supports full starch breakdown in all-grain mashes and enhances efficiency when brewing with adjuncts or specialty grains. The mild malt flavor contributes fermentable sugars without adding pronounced sweetness, creating a clean backbone that works well in both malt-forward and hop-forward recipes.

Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt is produced from high-quality American barley selected for consistency and smooth kernel structure. Its light color and neutral flavor make it suitable as the primary base malt in a wide range of beer styles. It performs well in single-infusion mash schedules and is equally effective in more complex temperature programs, providing stable performance across brewing systems.

To use this malt, incorporate it as up to 100 percent of the grain bill or blend it with specialty malts to adjust color and flavor. It works reliably in all-grain and partial mash brewing and pairs easily with a wide variety of hop varieties and yeast strains. Its clean fermentability helps produce beers with clarity and balance while supporting a wide range of stylistic preferences.

Designed for broad brewing applications, Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt delivers dependable extraction, neutral flavor, and strong enzymatic power. Its versatility and stability make it a cornerstone ingredient for both homebrewers and professional brewers crafting beers across the full style spectrum.
