Whiskey Malt.

[Gerryjo]

I'm curious to see if anyone has ever used Whiskey Malt in a brew before.The reason I ask is that whilst searching through base grains for a recent order I came across Minch Whiskey Malt in HBC so I decided to order 1kg which I shall add to a recipe of some description.
So if anyone has used it before it would be nice to hear your thoughts and if not your opinion is still appreciated.:thumb:

I had to Google this one...I like the description, doesnt mean **** all to me.
And, .Im not surprised its on offer.

I was looking into PSY(predicted spirit yield) a bit more as this issue rated at 400+ due too the nitrogen content but still investigating a little further.

As I understand it whiskey mash is about 10% and then they distill from that so it might bring a few ABV points to the party.

My understanding is that Whiskey malt is generally of lower quality than ale malt.

My understanding is distillers malt is produced for maximum enzymes so you can use 10% malt and 90% unmalted corn or similar so could be useful in small quantities if your getting poor mash efficiency but will not be good for flavour or clarity. If its for single malt whisky then its likely closer to an ale malt.

I'm thinking of trying another stout but shall be replacing 1kg of Pale Ale malt with this for another experiment.
