Base Malt
Our Munich Malt is perfect for brewing classic malty continental lagers and robust ales. Gladfield’s Munich Malt is germinated using barley with a slightly higher nitrogen content to create more intense colour through greater Maillard reactions. This is achieved by allowing higher levels of moist air recirculation and low temperatures to occur during the early and intermediate stages of the kilning cycle followed by a final long high temperature cycle. This kilning process results in a malt which is rich, sweet, toasty and imparts a biscuit flavour with a touch of breadiness. Our Munich Malt imparts a deep orange colour and a malty, toasted, nutty, grainy flavour to the brewed beer.
Use: Munich Malt is a base malt suitable for brewing German-style beers, or when a dry toasted nutty flavour is required.

Base/Distill Malt
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. We can customise the phenols levels upon request. This malt is primarily suited for making single malt whisky but is also great when used to flavour Scotch ales or darker maltier beers.
Use: Primarily suited for the making of single malt whisky. Adds a unique mild peaty taste to whiskies.
Rate: When used to flavour Scotch ales or darker malty beers use between 5% to 25%.

Base Malt
Also known as: Pale and/or Lager Malt
Gladfield Pilsner Malt is made from English and European bred barley varieties. Only plump low-protein barley are used to make our Pilsner Malt. This style of barley produces higher extracts and helps eliminate potential protein haze issues in the beer.
Our carefully controlled kilning gives a clean malty character without adding too much colour. Pilsner or Lager Malt can be used to produce ales as well as lagers. This malt does have sufficient diastatic power to convert the addition of 10–20% coloured malts to the mash, but it is not designed for large amounts of unmalted adjuncts.
Brewers should also note that it is important that the mash pH is controlled properly to obtain the best efficiencies and outcomes in the finished beer.
Use: As a base malt for any beer style. It is light in colour and imparts a sweet, clean flavour when brewed.

Speciality Malt
RedBack Malt is a unique malt made by Gladfield Malt. This malt is prepared using a special process before going into the roaster, and then roasted until Maillard reactions occur. The wort colour is bright with good clarity but most importantly is a lovely red hue.
RedBack Malt gives a lovely malty dried fruit and toasted flavour to the finished beer. The wonderful red colour is added to the beer without imparting an opalescence that can occur with other similar malts.
RedBack Malt is also used to increase body and head retention in the finished beer due to the lower modification level and saccharification in the roaster. It can be used up to 15%, and complements a range of base malts.
Use: RedBack Malt adds malty, dried fruit and toasted flavours as well as a red hue.

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.
Use: Adds a rich roast character and dark espresso like flavours.

Our Roasted Wheat Malt is produced by roasting unmalted wheat.
Using Gladfield Roasted Wheat is an excellent way to impart roasted coffee and chocolate flavours without adding any of the bitterness that can sometimes come from using Roasted Barley or Chocolate Malts. This malt is a great addition to any darker beer style.
Use: Adds light roast coffee and chocolate flavours and unique wheat impact.

Sub-Base Malt
Our Rye Malt is produced from locally grown rye corn. Rye does not have an outer husk so it benefits from a finer mill setting than our malted barleys. The rye is malted with the same care as our other malts and modifies beautifully in the kiln.
Use: Gives colour, spicy flavours and a clean, dry mouth feel.
Rate: Recommend starting with 10%, can then be increased up to 50% for more rye flavour.

Speciality Malt
Shepherds Delight is a unique malt made by Gladfield Malt.
Shepherds Delight Malt has a concentrated or intense deeper flavour than our Aurora Malt. It will provide a potent bready, toasted, cola flavour with a lingering fruity sweetness and red hue to the brewed beer.
This malt should be used sparingly because it gives a powerful malt flavour to the beer similar to a decoction mash. Using too high a concentration of this malt could lead to bitterness in the final beer.
We recommend combining Shepherds Delight Malt with our Vienna Malt to give a balancing sweetness.
Beers made with Shepherds Delight benefit from allowing to age for few weeks so flavour mellows out.
Use: Provides a malty, toasted, cola flavour and a deep red hue to beers.

Sub-Base Malt
Gladfield’s Sour Grapes Malt is designed to be used to adjust pH in the brew house mash. Sour Grapes Malt is produced by encouraging lactic growth during germination from naturally present bacteria on the grain, and then washing the malt in a lactic bath using the same Lactobacillus strain, before kilning.
As a guide, 1% of this milled malt will drop mash pH by 0.1. It can also add a mild lactic sourness to the brewed beer. We recommended between 1% and 5% of our Sour Grapes Malt is used to achieve target mash pH.
Use: Use to lower mash pH.
Rate: Up to 5%

Supernova Malt is a unique malt made by Gladfield Malt.
Supernova Malt is a 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%.
Use: Adds toasted, caramel, nutty flavours to a beer.

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 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
