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.

A $0.30/kg discount applies to any order of 4 kg or more of one type of malt. We do charge a $0.20/kg fee if you need your malt crushed, which is to cover the larger bags, extra time and maintenance required for the crushing service. This is so that we can keep our basic prices low for all our malts. To get the lowest possible price, buy by the 25 kg sack.

Remember that this is a base malt and requires a mash to produce fermentable sugars.
