Speciality Malt

Brewers are often wary of using Chocolate Malts because they are often associated with imparting bitter, harsh and astringent flavours. These flavours are formed when the husk is burnt during the roasting process. At Gladfield Malt, we have perfected a unique process that keeps the husk moist during the roasting process which limits these bitter and astringent flavours from forming. Gladfield’s Chocolate Malts are still darker malts, but impart smooth roast flavours to the brewed beer.

Gladfield Light Chocolate Malt is a lighter version of our Dark Chocolate Malt. It is produced in a similar way but roasted to a lower temperature and has a lighter colour. This malt gives fantastic roasted and espresso coffee like flavours. A great addition to Stouts and Porters.

Use: Adds coffee, chocolate and roast flavours.

Rate: Up to 15%

ATF Luminant IPA is a bright and fruit-forward hazy IPA, exclusively hopped with Luminosa for a vibrant tropical character. It presents a light, glowing appearance and a soft, pillowy texture. The aroma and flavour are filled with notes of peach, mandarin, and passionfruit, leading to a smooth and refreshing finish.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Vape (Assumed Origin: Boddington’s) to produce a juicy hazy with a silky mouthfeel and great hop aroma and flavour.

Alternatively we recommend using Verdant IPA. Lallemand’s Verdant IPA yeast. LalBrew Verdant IPA yeast will produce fruity esters and is well suited to NEIPA’s. Verdant IPA yeast expresses high amounts of β-lyase enzyme promoting biotransformation accentuating hop flavour and aroma. and also produces high amounts of glycerol producing a beer with a silky mouthfeel.

You could also try Froth Spectra (Assumed Origin: Unknown (London)).Spectra can produce a spectrum of radiant flavour & aroma while exhibiting an elegant ester profile and velvety mouthfeel.

Alternatively you could use Lallemand's New England yeast. Lallemand New England produces beers with a unique fruit forward ester profile, which is sought after in NEIPA's. Through expression of a β-glucosidase enzyme, LalBrew® New England can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavour and aroma.

Please Note: Kettle finings are not provided with this kit as beer clarity is not required for this style of beer.

The MFL Tap Shank Adapter is what you need to connect your draft tap directly to your MFL disconnect. These allow you to make a very compact portable setup.

We recommend using one of the Flow Control Nukatap with this adapter as this provides some restriction of the flow but they will also work with Intertap, Nukatap and other brands of taps. A nylon washer is also recommended between the disconnect and the shank adapter.

Please bear in mind that due to the compact size there is not enough space to accommodate an auto spring return so it is not compatible that setup.

Note: does not include tap or disconnect.

Brick Road Hopped Light DME is suitable for all beer, but especially light lagers, pilsners, pale ales and IPA's. For the best-tasting all-malt beer, mix well with water and your favourite yeast and Brick Road unhopped Malt extract cans (or Brick Road Dry Malt Extract, or dextrose).

When mixed to 23L, this pack will contribute a light gold colour up to 8 EBC, and a low-medium bitterness of 23 IBU and 1.017 gravity points. You can also use it in all-grain recipes when you want only the finest hopped malt flavour. It will replace approx. 1.34 kg of light base grain and bittering hops in your wort.

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%

These 29L stainless steel vessels are designed just like a commercial beer keg but with a large 10cm (4inch) tri-clover opening at the top so you can easily get inside the keg to clean it out. This new 29L size is perfect for doing 20-25L batches so you have a bit of spare head space inside the Kegmenter.

This Kegmenter is bundled with a stainless 4inch tri-clamp ball lock lid which will enable you to turn your kegmenter into a unitank fermenter, and pressurisable so it can also be used as a keg.

The Kegmenter can hold 2.5bar which makes it possible to carbonate and ferment in the same vessel. You can either carbonate naturally with the use of our adjustable pressure relief valve (spunding valve) or if you are using a CO2 gas cylinder you can force carbonate.

Being able to hold pressure also means you can push the beer out of the fermenter directly through a filter or even dispense directly from fermenter to draft beer tap if you wanted to.

The chimes on the Kegmenters have specifically been designed to be taller than normal chimes so they are high enough to give clearance over the stainless posts on the Ball Lock Post Lid. This means the Kegmenters can be stacked. The interlocking stacking chimes means the kegs can be safely stacked up to 4 high.

Pressure Limitations
Maximum Working Pressure: 2.5 BAR
Test Pressure: 5 BAR
Wall Thickness (Body/Chimes): 1.8mm/2.1mm
Diameter: approx. 39.5cm
Height: approx. 38cm

Here's one for the fiercely original, the experimentalists, and the rebels of ordinary. The fruitiness of this hop may be a little overpowering for the un-initiated, however those with a penchant for bold character will fund several applications for this true brewer's hop.

Cryo Hops® pellets are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavour and aroma, enabling brewers to efficiently dose large quantities of alpha acids and oils without introducing astringent flavours or vegetative material. Cryo Hops® pellets can be utilised anywhere whole-leaf hops and hop pellets are traditionally applied.
