Gateway (Under-Modified Wind-Malt)

“Wind-malt” is a long-forgotten style of Belgian malt that was allowed to air-dry in the lofts of barns. To our knowledge, it has never been produced commercially in North America. We’ve revived it with “Gateway,” a malt that is bursting with the aroma of fresh-cut hay while being nearly translucent in color. Gateway is perfectly-suited for decoctions, step mashing, and is the missing ingredient when brewing historic styles of beer. Details: Color: 1.2 SRM, PPG: 38. C068I, W068I, G068K

Gladfield • New Zealand

German Pilsner Malt

Newly developed from an old world style our German Pilsner malt has a neutral malt flavour making it perfect to use as a base for New World Ales and Lagers when malt character is less desired. We start with higher nitrogen plump 2-row spring barley that goes through our traditional germination process, followed by a slow kilning regime. The higher protein barley will maintain a lot of medium chain proteins that provide both body and head retention. The malt produces crisp, clean wort of pale straw colour with out the malt flavour.
