Rahr GN Zero Distilling Malt

Rahr GN Zero Malt is a premium distilling malt composed of Glycosidic Nitrile-free North American 2-Row barley.  Rahr GN Zero’s technical specifications and flavor profile make it an excellent neutral base malt for any whiskey or spirit where you may want to use a barley malt. Ideal for a bourbon or American Single Malt Whiskey, it provides earthy and grainy characteristics while slight notes of bread crumb and sprouts play a supporting role.  What is Glycosidic Nitrile (GN)? Glycosidic nitriles are organic compounds found in high volumes in some barley varieties once malted. Ethyl carbamate (EC), a carcinogen, is formed from GM during distilling. Many countries regulate EC levels, and the US may tighten regulations, making this a future-proof choice for your aging spirits. Color °L    1.8-2.3Protein Total    11.5 ± 0.5Moisture % Max    4.5Extract FG Min    >80.0Usage Rate    Up to 100%
