    Pale Ale malt forms the majority of the grist for a typical U.K. Pale Ale or Bitter beer and is made from some of the best barley available. There is an emphasis on single variety and low protein levels. The barley will be fully steeped and germinated before the green malt is loaded to the kiln. Kilning is a carefully controlled process removing moisture to a relatively low level without destroying excessive amounts of enzymes but imparting characteristic flavour and colour. Even with a diastase of only 45°L there is still enough activity to convert for example 5% of Crystal malt and 5 -10% of cooked adjunct (e.g. flaked maize). Mashing is normally at a fixed temperature of about 65°C, so modification has to be high to cope with this and a coarse grist is normally used.
    Many UK brewers stress the flavour benefits in the wort and glass of using Pale Ale malts produced from traditional winter malting barley varieties.

    This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg.
    *Note: 25kg bulk orders will not be milled, you will need your own grain mill. View our range of grain mills here.

    Gladfield Munich malt is germinated similar to the Vienna malt using slightly higher nitrogen barley to create more intense colour through greater maillard reactions. This is achieved with a kilning regime that includes higher levels of moist air recirculation during the early and intermediate stages of the kilning cycle followed by high final curing temperatures. The resulting malt is rich, sweet, toasty and biscuity with a touch of breadiness.
    This malt is ideal for darker style Lagers or Ales and high alcohol beers.

    Gladfield Vienna has a kiwi twist but still has the normal characteristics of typical Vienna malt. The germination and kilning allows a sweeter maltier character with out over doing it. It is ideal for darker lagers or Marzen style beers. The Gladfield Vienna goes well with Gladiator and Toffee giving a big white head and lovely golden red lager for that drinkable session beer.

    Gladfield's American Ale malt is the answer for brewers who have found that Gladfield regular Ale malt will add too much of a malty and toasted flavour profile to certain beer styles. This malt starts as all our other base malts do with a traditional long cool germination period. What separates it from the standard Ale malt is a newly developed a kilning recipe that favours colour formation typical to an Ale malt but with a clean malt profile and without the extra toasted flavours. This malt has been a favourite for producing popular hop-forward American style beers for which it was named.

    Lager light is made especially for brewing an all malt lager where a light colour is desirable. It can also be used alongside Gladfield wheat malt when brewing delicate bright clean wheat beers where low colour formation is important and a clean malt profile required.

    Gladfield Ale malt has very similar attributes to the Pilsner malt but only winter grown English bred 2-row varieties are used. The malt is fully modified through a traditional long cool germination. This is a highly friable malt but the soluble nitrogen ratios are kept relatively low to enhance mouth feel and head retention.
    The kilning regime gives a nice toasty character with enhanced maltiness for dark ales.

    Gladfield Pilsner malt is made from 2 row English and European bred barley varieties. Only plump low protein barley is used which allows for higher extract potential and helps eliminate potential protein haze issues in the beer.
