Sinamar Natural Beer Colouring

Sinamar® natural beer colouring was patented by the Weyermann Company in Germany in 1902 and is a gluten free natural mashed colouring derived from debittered Carafa Special 2 black malt. It will help you create a dark beer with very little roast character. It is used in breweries in 67 countries today, and used to darken Dunkelweizens, Schwarzbiers, Bockbiers, Dunkel Lagers, Altbiers, Stouts, Porters, Red Ales, Brown Ales, and even Scotch Ales. If you are a beer drinker with any experience, you have consumed a beer coloured with Sinamar.
Sinamar is currently popular with craft brewers worldwide making dark IPA styles, as it imparts natural malt darkness without most of the roast and bitter dark malt flavour components. Use 30 ml in 23 litres of wort (add while cooling at the end of the boil) to add 5 SRM of colour. 5 SRM is the difference between a pale blond beer and a dark golden beer. To turn a pale golden beer dark brown or almost black, add 90 – 100ml of Sinamar to 23 litres.
Also used to colour clear distilled spirits when you want a bourbon or whiskey effect.
