Rahr Standard 6-Row is a light-colored base malt made from a blend of American 6-Row barley varieties. 6-row barley has a much higher protein content and enzymatic power than 2-row barley. Inclusion of Standard 6-Row is therefore very advantageous for recipes calling for large proportions of specialty malts, wheat malts, or adjuncts, which have little enzymatic power. 6-row barley is also used to match historical beer styles from settings where 2-row barley was not widely available.

This stuff is the unsung hero
I brew a lot of adjunct beers (Classic American Pilsner, Kentucky Common, Mexican Lager). With these types of beer, you need barley malt that can reliably convert the starches. This stuff has all of the diastatic power needed to get the job done. If used as the only malt, it has a distinctive harshness that is required for a lot of American styles. I use it with Briess Blonde roastoats and Maris Otter malt for a smooth character. I have a friend that uses almost the same grainbill for bourbon...
