Gypsum (calcium sulphate) is used to add permanent hardness to your brewing water in the form of calcium ions, which will increase the hop perception in your beer. 1 gram of Calcium Sulphate in 1 gallon of water changes the salt levels by 61.5 ppm calcium, 147.5 ppm sulfate and adds 153.5 ppm to the hardness.

Calcium carbonate is used to raise mash pH. It increases alkalinity, improves yeast health, and adds essential calcium ions, all of which contribute to the desired beer characteristics, although it must be added to the mash due to its limited solubility. Generally used for making dark beers.

HARRAWAYS FLAKED WHEAT 1kg – 5kg

Mike — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 01:38:37 +0000

Flaked Wheat provides a typical wheat flavour, colour and aroma, free of preservatives and additives. Often used in wheat beers and saisons. Rates of use: Up to 15%

Wheat Flakes produced from milling red wheat kernels.

Flaked wheat is not malted, therefore requires extra effort to extract it's potential sugar content, which will be lower than malted wheat. Flaked wheat is traditional in Belgian witbier and lambics, it contains more starch and higher levels of protein than malted wheat. It adds more mouthfeel than malted wheat and has a different taste, which is noticeable when used in larger quantities. If the grain bill consists of more than 25% flaked wheat you should consider a cereal mash, or precooking the wheat in order to gelatinize it so you can extract more sugars out of it.

LIGHT CHOCOLATE MALT 500g – 5kg

Mike — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 01:22:02 +0000

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%
