Bairds Pale Ale
(bulk product - please select amount on product page)This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg.
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.Out of Stock -
Gladfield Munich Malt
(bulk product - please select amount on product page)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. -

(bulk product - please select amount on product page)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.BEST Munich intensifies the mouth feel and malty flavor of amber to dark beers in a pleasant way. Even a small amount in the grain bill gives the beer a typical malty note. BEST Munich is therefore ideally suited to enhancing the body of very highly fermented beers. Due to the generally higher levels of protein in this malt, the higher its concentration in the grain bill, the better the foam of the beers brewed with it.
Base malt for all dark beers, Export, Märzen, Alt, wheat beers, Bocks and Brown Ale.
Recommended Quantities: Up to 100% of total grain bill

Gladfield Shepherd's Delight malt
(bulk product - please select amount on product page)This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg.
Shepherds Delight is a stepped up version of Gladfield Aurora malt. It has intense bready, toasted and kola flavour with a lingering fruity sweetness. This malt should be used sparingly to supercharge the maltiness of a beer and will give flavours similar to a decoction mash. Used at too high a concentration could lead to bitterness in the final beer. We recommend combining Shepherds Delight with Gladfield Vienna malt to give a balancing sweetness. This malt will give a stunning red hue to your beers.
