Blonde RoastOat Malt - Briess

Briess Blonde RoastOat Malt is a specialty roasted oat malt designed to add silky smoothness, mild nutty sweetness, and subtle toast character to a wide range of beer styles. It enhances body and mouthfeel while contributing a light golden hue, making it suitable for stouts, brown ales, Scotch ales, and hazy or New England–style IPAs. Its soft roasted profile helps build depth without introducing bitterness.

This malt offers functional benefits for brewers who want fuller texture and improved structure in their beers. At 6 degrees Lovibond, it provides gentle color development and a delicate roasted aroma that blends easily with both pale and dark grain bills. Its oat composition supports a creamy, rounded finish, helping create the smooth body expected in styles that rely on soft mouthfeel and malt complexity.

Briess Blonde RoastOat Malt is available milled or unmilled to match different brewing setups. Milled malt is ready for immediate use on brew day, while unmilled kernels support longer storage and allow brewers to mill to their preferred consistency. Its versatility makes it effective in both all-grain and partial mash recipes where oats contribute to body and haze formation.

To use this malt, incorporate 10 to 30 percent of the grain bill depending on the desired intensity of flavor and texture. It pairs well with base malts, crystal malts, and roasted grains to create layered profiles in both light and dark beers. The malt’s smooth, low-intensity roast helps maintain balance in hop-forward beers while adding rounded depth to malt-forward styles.

Designed for brewers refining body and flavor complexity, Briess Blonde RoastOat Malt provides consistent performance, subtle roast character, and a creamy mouthfeel that enhances a variety of modern and traditional beer styles.
