Swaen Lager – per kg

Swaen© Lager Base Malt

Swaen© Lager is a premium base malt produced from high-quality two-row European barley. Gently kilned to preserve its delicate character and strong enzymatic activity, it is exceptionally easy to work with and supports single-temperature infusion mashing. It provides a clean, light, and slightly sweet foundation that allows hops and yeast profiles to take centre stage. Its high modification ensures excellent extract yield and efficient lautering, making it the reliable gold standard for any brewer requiring a stable, pale fermentable base.
