Gladfield Ale is grown from plump, low-protein autumn 2-row barley varieties and is one of the most popular base malts. Ale Malt is highly friable but the soluble nitrogen ratios are kept relatively low to enhance mouth feel and head retention when brewed. This malt has been fully modified through a traditional long cool germination, resulting in higher extract potential. The kilning regime gives a nice toasty character to the malt and makes it perfect to use to brew a traditional English style darker ale.
