Rahr Standard 6-Row is a light-colored base malt made from a blend of American 6-Row barley varieties. 6-row barley has a much higher protein content and enzymatic power than 2-row barley. Inclusion of Standard 6-Row is therefore very advantageous for recipes calling for large proportions of specialty malts, wheat malts, or adjuncts, which have little or no enzymatic power themselves. 6-row barley is also used to match historical beer styles from settings where 2-row barley was not widely available. High proportions of 6-row barley may necessitate the use of adjuncts or require protein rests in mashing.
Full bag is 55lbs Rahr 6-row Uncrushed.
2.1 - 2.5 L - 6-Row is much higher in protein content and enzymatic power than 2-row. Often used to help convert adjuncts, specialy malts and other grains that are deficient in enzymes for proper conversion. Can be used up to 100% of grist.
