Speciality Malt

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.

Rate: Up to 25%

Speciality Malt

Also known as: Midnight Wheat

A bitterless black malt, Gladfield’s newest malt is the best way to add the smoothest dark brown/black colour to your beers without accompanying bitterness and with a very subtle flavour contribution.

Consider Eclipse Wheat as the blackest colour malt. Use for many styles when you want to adjust for colour, while adding a delicious minor roast coffee note. You can use this in applications where you’re looking for similar colouring characteristics as Roasted Barley without the dark espresso character or potential astringency that can sometimes come from very dark barley malts. Eclipse Wheat is huskless and will not carry bitterness into your beer. Use in higher proportions to make your black IPAs, Porters and Stouts blacker; adjust colour on your Belgians, Ales and Milds; and add depth to your Schwarzbiers. Use in place of debittered black malt and dehusked barley malts. The subtle and smooth flavour means Eclipse Wheat is suited for a much broader range of applications than other roast malts or chocolate malts. Including bringing the darkness to uncommon styles like Lagers, Wits and Saisons.

Use: 

• 1–2% for little to no flavour contribution, minor colour adjustment;
• 2–6% to add more colour with very smooth roasted coffee and chocolate notes;
• 7–10% in a larger ratio for more definite colour adjustment, velvety-smooth subtle roast character.

Brick Road Dark Malt makes great-tasting beer with Brick Road beer kits, or with Brick Road Hopped Malt extract cans, or in all-grain recipes when you want only the finest malt flavour. 

This can will contribute a deep-amber colour up to 34 EBC in 23L, 1.021 gravity points and will replace approx. 1.75 kg of amber base grain in your wort. Dark Malt is particularly good for darker Ales, Stouts and Porters or when you need to add colour to your beer.

Batch: 25-117

Alpha: 26.5%

Beta: 11.10%

Already proven to add abundant character to styles such as Strong Pale Ales and IPA's, this is a hop that can sing by itself or add an undeniable 'wow' to any brew in the making.

The signature landrace variety of the Hallertau region in Bavaria, Hallertau Mittelfrüh is, at least to some, the epitome of noble hops.

Complex, but mild and approachable. A mixture of sweet, earthy, and herbal with vivid impressions of new-mown hay, sweet spices, and dried flowers. It's many offshoots and daughters show some of these same qualities, but none have the same range and balance as Mittelfrüh.

Although it can be and is used throughout the boil, it is most prized for its fine, elegant aroma and flavour contribution. Mittelfrüh has been one of Europe’s most widely esteemed varieties for centuries and is practically synonymous with continental lagers (particularly Bavarian styles) and many types of German and Belgian ales.

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.

Rate: Up to 10%
