De Wolf-Cosyns Maltings
The Belgian company of De Wolf-Cosyns Maltings has acquired a solid reputation in specialty kilned and roasted malts. The company has malthouses in the cities of Leuven and Aalst, Belgium, placing them conveniently close to a transportation network comprising river, railway, and roadway and linking De Wolf-Cosyns to a grain-growing region renowned for the quality of its brewing barley. The malthouses' proximity to the growing regions assures the company of an optimum selection of the cream of Belgium's barley crop. The Leuven and Aalst plants combine the technology of mechanized floor maltings, Saladin boxes, and two high-capacity roasting drums to produce a total of 150,000 metric tonnes (168,000 U.S. tons) of malt annually.
De Wolf-Cosyns' product line comprises more than a dozen two-row whole kernel, pale, and specialty malts. All malts are derived from Prisma and Alexis spring and winter barley (or wheat, where applicable) grown in the grain regions surrounding Belgium.
Aromatic malt: A Munich malt. This product will impart a distinct, almost exaggerated malt aroma and flavor to dark lagers, amber lagers, and German Bocks, even at a rate as low as 10%. Very well modified. Odor of mash: very aromatic. Degree of clarity: clear. Rate of filtration: normal.
Biscuit malt: A lightly roasted malt with the flavor and aroma of Saltine crackers. Designed to improve bread and biscuits; also used to improve the toasted flavor and aroma characteristics of ales and lagers. Made from a well-modified kilned malt that is drum roasted. Odor of mash: crackers. Degree of clarity: clear. Rate of filtration: normal.
Black malt: A well-modified kilned malt that is drum roasted to impart a burnt, pronounced flavor. It is used primarily as a coloring malt for several dark-styled beers. Odor of mash: burnt coffee. Degree of clarity: dark. Rate of filtration: slow.
Caramel PilsTMmalt: This pale, dextrin-style malt is loaded with unfermentable sugars to add body, mouthfeel, and palate fullness to pale beers. Made from green malt and drum roasted for good caramelization. Odor of mash: very aromatic. Degree of clarity: clear. Rate of filtration: normal.
CaraMunich(tm): A traditional, caramel-style malt with an assertive, full malty flavor and excellent color. Made from green malt that is drum roasted for a high degree of caramelization. Intended for darker ales and lagers. Odor of mash: aromatic. Degree of clarity: dark. Rate of filtration: normal.
CaraVienne(tm): A pale to medium caramel-style malt with a smooth malty taste well suited to Märzen and Belgian-style ales. Made from green malt that is drum roasted for good caramelization. Odor of mash: very aromatic. Degree of clarity: clear. Rate of filtration: normal.

Wheat malt: Derived from biscuit-type wheat of the Thesee and Thrimie varieties. Wheat berries are large and well modified. This malt delivers a slight malty flavor suitable for Weizen, Kölsch, and Belgian-style white beers.
