[agentbud]

anyone out there tried the Flava-Malt product by Proximity?

Why does this sound like LME or DME with extracts added?

What is Flava-malt®?​

Flava-malt® is a malted wheat powder designed as a flavor delivery vehicle. This dried, shelf-stable powder allows you to add fruit and other flavors post-fermentation, similar to dry-hopping.

Why Use Flava-malt®?​

1. Ease of Use: Flava-malt® is simple to dose and integrate into the brewing process, with easy cleanup.
2. Versatility: Use Flava-malt® across a wide range of beer styles- wheat beers, sours, IPAs and stouts- providing flexibility in recipe development.
3. Balance and Depth: By integrating Flava-malt®, brewers can achieve a balanced flavor profile and lasting aroma.

Cheers! (and shrugs )

if anyone has luck figuring out where to buy it, let me know. Proximity is not replying to my email.

So, instead of adding the usual fruit or fruit extracts, this is an additive with the flavoring highly concentrated and embedded into a wheat malt powder. Sounds interesting. I suppose that at dosages of <2 oz/bbl, it's easier for breweries to deal with this than lots of fruit or juices.

 

[agentbud]

yeah, I hate dealing with fruit and extracts usually don't give a true flavor so I figured maybe this might work. at the homebrew scale it would only take between 7 to 19 grams of this stuff for a 5 gal batch if I did the conversion right.

This might be helpful. Don't know who they'll send a sample to. Maybe if you know someone at a local brewery? Good luck, keep us posted!

Is this a 100% pure powderized juice concentrate? Or is it riddled with synthetic BS? Not to judge, I just didn't see more info (link is a sign-up sheet). Sometimes they'll add de-foamers, other agents, flavors, anything. Not on a high horse, but the closer we can get to malt, hops, waters, yeast, and true additions, the better

They do have an FAQ that answers (to some extent) a few questions about the material.

It appears they have a distributor, B&D Nutritional Ingredients. This note is at the bottom of their page, which makes it clear they deal only with pro customers:
