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.

High Protein Specialty Malts

The term “chitting” in malt represents the first stage of germination, where the barley has taken up enough moisture from steeping to start the magic process of converting starch into soluble sugars. Chit malt has a particularly high level of inherent starter enzymes, which contribute significantly to improving the conversion of starch, thus increasing the yield.

Precisely how Chit Malt can improve a beer’s mouthfeel and head retention results from when we kiln the malt; during the early stages of starch modification. Kilning at this point leaves long protein chains in the malt from the enzymes produced at chitting. These remain in the beer at higher levels, after fermentation.

Beers produced with Chit Malts retain higher protein content and these proteins contribute to increased levels of foam-positive proteins and improved head retention. They can also impart added mouthfeel, particularly in direr beer styles like Sours and Saisons.

Chit Malt is a great alternative to using raw adjuncts. The flavour impact in a beer is minimum if used at rates between 1-4%, with subtle green, grassy, raw grain flavours developing when used in higher percentages.

Chit Wheat offers new options for your Saisons, Sours, Low alcohol beers or Hazy Pale Ales and IPA's.

Chit Wheat can add noticeable body and velvety mouthfeel, due to wheat’s high protein content, combined with killing it at the chitting stage. Use alone, as a substitute for raw, flaked and rolled grains or in conjunction with Chit Barley.
The higher enzymatic activity in Chit Malt can also increase mash efficiency and starch conversion rates when paired with these cheaper, unmodified cereal grains.

CHIEF ADVANTAGES

• Nearly twice the resin content of traditional T-90 hop pellets
• Intense contribution of hop flavour and aroma
• Reduced grassy and vegetal characteristics
• Increased yield through reduced brewhouse trub

Kohatu 2025 Harvest

Batch: 25-246

Alpha: 7.30%

Beta: 3.90%

A dual purpose hop with fresh tropical fruit characters and excellent finish and bitterness

Breeding:

Kohatu® Brand HORT3829 is a triploid aroma type produced through the crossing of a Hallertau Mittlefruh and a New Zealand Male with North American and European parentage. Kohatu® was released from the New Zealand Plant and Food Research hop breeding programme in 2011.

Selection:

Kohatu® has been described as having an intense fresh tropical fruit character during selections and these early sensory evaluations brought this hop to the attention of researchers. 

Brewing:

Initial brewing trials displayed a hop of great versatility with excellent stable flavour and aroma impacts. Fruity characters seen in sensory selections had carried through into the finished product, which was very satisfying. Importantly, the real stand out has been the consistency and quality of bitterness in dual purpose applications.

'Excellent flavour and bitterness’

Applications:

Works really well in single hop applications to show case its fruity aroma characters balanced by the extraordinary quality of bitterness.  Higher addition rates can really pack a fruit driven punch in bigger beer styles.
