Gladfield's Ale Malt is grown from plump, low protein Autumn barley varieties and is one of their most popular base malts. Ale Malt is highly friable, but the soluble nitrogen ratios are kept relatively low to enhance mouthfeel and head retention when brewed. This Malt has been fully modified through a traditional long cool germination resulting in higher extract potential. Such modification helps eliminate haze issues in the beer. The kilning regime gives a nice toasty character to the malt, making it perfect for brewing a traditional English style.
