    Gladfield Crystal Malts are made in a specialized roasting drum. The emphases are on sweetness and evenness of crystallization.
    The evenness of colour is achieved by using the latest technology in malt roasting and heat recirculation. Crystal malts can be used in varying amounts and intensities to an array of beer styles to add colour, flavour, and aroma to the beer. It is important to use crystal malts fresh to get the best results.

    To create Gladfield’s Peat Smoked Malt, our wonderful Distillers Malt is smoked in our in-house smoker using 100% New Zealand peat. The resulting malt is infused with a traditional mild, soft earthy flavour with phenols 40+ppm. This malt is primarily suited for making single malt whisky but is also great when used to flavour Scotch ales or darker maltier beers.

    Red Back Malt is a unique malt made by Gladfield. It is prepared by a special process before going into the roaster, where it is roasted to favour certain maillard reactions which cause the malt to produce a lovely red hue in the resulting beer without the opalescence that can occur with other similar malts. In other words the wort colour is bright with good clarity but most of all a lovely red colour. It goes well with Gladfield Pale Ale and Aurora malt which is melanoidin malt.

    This product is used in the production of dry or bitter Stouts and other dark beers, or for the careful adjustment of Pilsen beer colours.
    Roasted Barley, as the name suggests, is made from unmalted barley. It has a slightly darker colour than our Gladfield Chocolate Malt range and is ideally suited for use in a Dry Stout. Roasted Barley adds a lovely rich roast flavour and dark espresso like flavours to brewed beer. Like all roasted malts, it should be used fresh to get the best out of it.

    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.
    EBC 250 - 350

    Gladfield Supernova

    (bulk product - please select amount on product page)
    This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg.

    Supernova malt is a new roasted malt from Gladfield that adds nutty, toasted caramel flavours to a beer. It can be used as a replacement for traditional crystal malts to change the flavour characteristics and reduce the beers residual sweetness. We start this malt with Canterbury winter barley and take it through our germination process before it is roasted to develop flavour and colour.
    This is a great malt to be used in any beer style. We have already seen it used in Pilsners and IPAs between 10 – 25%. We also recommend its use in an Amber Ale up to 25%, it adds a rich depth of malty flavour and really makes this style shine. It goes well in a Porter up to 10-15%, complementing the darker roast malts and adding complexity. Also great for Pale Ales for great toasty caramel flavours that won’t overtake the hops, use 5-10%
    Colour: Typical 114 EBC
