Diastatic Power

Lager Malt is kilned at a low temperature to ensure that the malt is a pale color with a delicate flavour but also to preserve a high level of diastatic activity. Modern lager malts are now fully modified and therefore a simple infusion mash can be used. The diastatic activity of lager malt means that a good proportion of unmalted grains may safely be included in the mash if required.
