Speciality Malt

Toffee Malt is a unique malt made by Gladfield Malt. We make this unique malt by taking a lower to mid-range nitrogen winter or autumn barley variety, roasting the resulting malt at very low temperatures, and then caramelise the malt. The low temperature and slower roasting produces a malt with a very light colour, a chewy consistency, with honey or toffee flavours.

Our Toffee Malt is very popular. Not only does it add a wonderful malty, honey toffee flavour to lighter coloured beers but it also enhances beer stability, body and mouth feel. Because of its high moisture content, we recommend that brewers mill the Toffee Malt mixed with other malts to avoid clogging the malt mill.

Use: Toffee Malt adds toffee and honey flavours and has a low colour impact.

Base Malt

Gladfield’s Vienna Malt is made using a blend of winter and spring barley varieties with a higher nitrogen content. Our germination and kilning results in a sweeter, malty character with a golden to orange colouring that is slightly darker than our Ale Malt.

Vienna Malt imparts hints of toast or biscuit malt aromas and flavours to the finished beer. Due to its light colour, Vienna Malt is very versatile and compliments a wide range of other malts.

Our Vienna Malt has a Kiwi twist but still has the usual characteristics of typical Vienna Malt and is ideal for brewing darker lagers or Märzen style beers. We have found our Vienna Malt combines particularly well with our Gladiator Malt and Toffee Malt, and gives a big white head and a lovely golden colour to make a very drinkable session beer.

Use: Vienna Malt has a sweet malty character and light toast malt flavour. Perfect for brewing a Vienna lager or a Märzen style beer.

The Grainfather Conical Fermenter Coat is the perfect fitment for those in a climate that experiences high condensation rates when using either using the Grainfather Glycol Chiller or Cooling Pump Kit to lower the fermenter’s temperature.

Features:

• Made from high quality 5mm thick SBR foam.
• Consists of two independent sections for both the main body and the fermenter cone for total coverage.

Temperature control is one of the most crucial elements for producing a good quality beer. It needs to be regulated and stable throughout the whole fermentation process to ensure the yeast doesn't get stressed and ferments correctly to get the right flavour profile.

To be able to cool with the Grainfather Conical Fermenter, you need to have the Conical Fermenter Temperature Controller. Then once your target temperature is below the temperature of the wort in your fermenter the Cooling Pump Kit pumps ice cold water through the double walled insulated interior to cool down your wort.

Simply connect the couplers and insulated hoses to the Conical Fermenter, submerge the submersible pump into a cooler box with water (add ice for your required temperature) and pump the liquid through the insulated cooling sleeve of the Conical Fermenter body.

Whats Included

Conical Fermenter Cooling Pump (submersible)
T-section power connector
2 x brass couplers

Specifications

Rated 12 VDC – 4.8 Watts

The Grainfather digital Temperature Controller replaces the temperature display. With this you can control the heating and the cooling (if you have the Grainfather Glycol Chiller) of your fermenter by dialing in a temperature or even setting a temperature schedule (can set up to 5 stages). This snaps on easily via magnets and pogo pins with no extra cords or clutter.

The Grainfather counterflow chiller is used after boiling the wort to cool it down fermentation temperature. The counterflow does this by acting as a heat exchange between the wort and water from your tap as you transfer the wort from your boil kettle to your fermenter. Because this is a one-step process of transferring and cooling, it is more efficient and more sanitary than immersion chillers, and the curved design allows for similar performance to plate chillers without the crevasses that can make cleaning painful.

Features  

• One step transferring and cooling 
• Fast cooling time to within 3C of source water temperature. 
• More sanitary transferring 
• Copper inner coil for high heat exchange 
• Compatible with a range of brewing systems 

Includes

• Counterflow chiller
• G30 connector  
• 9mm right angle hose barb connector for G40, G70 and other brew systems
• Tap adapter set for connection to garden hoses and most faucets

The Electric Grain Mill is motorised, compact and easy to use at home. It’s equipped with large, fluted rollers that crack the outer husk of the grain longitudinally, providing optimal surface area for your mash and a better filter bed for your sparge.

The removable grain hopper holds up to 1kg of grain at a time and with 10 easily adjustable gap settings, ranging from 0.8mm to 2mm, this mill has been engineered to crush a variety of grains. Crush different base malts and specialty grains, and even change the rate that your grain is crushed with the variable speed dial.

It’s easy to mount onto a workbench or bucket, but it works best with the Grain Mill Bamboo Mounting Board. Plus, the mill is easy to assemble thanks to its built-in motor and compact design. Simply attach the grain hopper. Set your desired gap setting by pulling the spring-loaded pin and rotating the dial. Add grain to the hopper and flick the switch to begin crushing.
