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.

Sub-Base Malt

Gladfield Wheat Malt is produced from an old English wheat variety that modifies very well, resulting in a higher yield. This malt gives clean light coloured wort.

Wheat Malt can be used in many beer styles to add head retention, body and a wheat malty flavour to the finished beer. All the wheat grain that we use on our Wheat Malt is single sourced from the Birkett Family from Leeston, Canterbury.

Use: For making wheat beers and to add body and head retention.

Harraways Flaked Barley is produced much like their rolled oats. Raw barley is steamed and then pressed through a pair of rollers. Flaked barley can also be added directly to the mash with base and speciality malts.

It imparts a rich, smooth, and grainy flavour and is commonly used in stouts, but can also perform well as an adjunct in German style pilsners, as it can produce lighter colour without lowering the gravity.

Flaked Wheat adds to increased body and foam retention. 

Used in place of raw or torrified wheat for faster conversion and better yield.

May be used in small amounts to improve head retention and body. 

Harraways Jumbo Oats are a versatile adjunct. These wholegrain oats have been rolled into flakes that can then be added directly to the mash with base and speciality malts. Rolled oats provide a creaminess and smooth silky mouthfeel. They are commonly used in hazy's, porters, and stouts, and are also effective for adding body to low alcohol beers.

Golden Promise is a beautiful heritage variety chosen for its taste, versatility and processability. Loves hops!

When you need a high performing well balanced malt to complement your big hops, look no further than Golden Promise.

Golden Promise gives beautiful mouthfeel to bring balance to beers with even the gutsiest hops and, when you drop the gravity for a session beer, you won’t lose out on body.

Golden Promise is a heritage barley variety that dates back to the 1960s, with that barley then malted to become Golden Promise malt. More than half a century on, it continues to thrive - particularly in the craft brewing sector - due to its exceptional brewhouse performance and flavour profile.
