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%

GLADFIELD MEDIUM CRYSTAL

Mike — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 00:30:33 +0000

Crystal Malts, also known as Caramel
Malts, are used to add colour, flavour and sweetness to beer. Gladfield’s Crystal Malts are made from lower to mid-range nitrogen winter or autumn barley varieties, that are soaked in water, germinated, left wet and then heated. This converts the sugars while they are still in the grain. We then roast our Crystal Malts in our high-tech purpose-built roasting drum making sure that the crystallisation process is even throughout. This gives a sweetness
and even colour to the final malt.
Crystal Malts have no diastatic power, so must always be used in conjunction with a base malt. Crystal Malt can be used in varying amounts and intensities to an array of beer styles to add colour, flavour and aroma to the beer. It is important to note that our Crystal Malt must be used fresh to get the best results.

GLADFIELD MALTED MAIZE MALT 25kg Sack (crushed)

Mike — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 00:23:42 +0000

Premium maize grown in the South Island of New Zealand that has a starchy taste, blend flavour.Maize Malt adds mild, less malty flavour to beers and less body. It also provides a drier and crisper beer. Typical Beer Styles include American Light Lager, Mexican Lagers, Pilsners. It is also suited for Bourbon Whisky making. Typical usage rates are up to 25% in beer and 51% in distilling. You should crush Maize Malt along with other malts. No need to adjust the mill, cook it, step mash or mill it separately. You can keep the same mill gap size and mill the Maize with the other malts on your grain bill to aid the flow. If your mill rollers have good knurling, this will work. However, the Maize has a slippery outer skin, and some brewers have been milling the Maize Malt by wetting the grain before mixing with the other malt prior milling. Or you can bash the Maize Malt bag with a rubber hammer before milling. We recommend adding Rice or Oat Hulls to recipes
using more than 10% of Maize Malt to avoid a stuck mash.
