Ingredients (All Grain25 L)

  • 5.0 kg Pale Ale 2RS Malt; Castle Malting

    Pale Ale 2RS Malt; Castle Malting

    Features: Belgian light-coloured base malt. Kilning at up to 90-95°C. Usage: Pale ale styles and bitter beers, most traditional English beer styles. Can be used up to 100% of the grist. Characteristics: Usually used as a base malt or in combination with Pilsen 2RS malt to impart a richer malt flavor and additional color. Being deeper in colour, this malt can add a golden hue to the wort. It is used with strong yeasts to produce amber and bitter beers. Pale ale malt is kilned longer and is usually better modified, giving a more pronounced flavour than Pilsen 2RS. The enzymes in Pale ale malt can support the use of non-enzymatic specialty malts.

  • .40 kg Special B Malt; Castle Malting

    Melanoidin 80 EBC Malt; Castle Malting

    Features: Belgian Melanoindin (Melano) malt. Special germination process. Kilned in a special way at up to 130°C. Melano malt is slowly dried as the temperature is raised, allowing the melanoidins to form as part of the kilning process. Usage: Amber and dark beers, Scottish type and red coloured beers like Scottish ales, amber ales, red ales, and Irish ales. Characteristics: Very aromatic with intense malty flavour. Gives fullness and roundness to the beer colour, improves flavour stability and promotes red colour in your beer. Gives beer fuller body. This specialty variety has been described as “turbo Munich”.

    Biscuit Malt; Castle Malting

    Features: Unique and very special Belgian malt. Lightly kilned, then lightly torrefied up to 160°C. Usage: All special beers and as well for English ales, brown ales and porters. Recommended proportion: up to 15% of the grist. Characteristics: Biscuit malt produces a very pronounced "toasty" finish in the beer. Imparts a warm bread and biscuit like aroma and flavour. Biscuit Malt promotes a light to medium warm brown colour to the mash. This malt is used to improve the roasted flavour and aroma that characterize ales and lagers lending the subtle properties of black and chocolate malts. No enzymes. Must be mashed with malts having a surplus of diastatic power.

  • 1.17 kg Cara 120 EBC Malt; Castle Malting

    Cara 120 EBC Malt; Castle Malting

Recommended proportion: up to 20% of the grist. Characteristics: Caramel malt imparts a rich, caramel-sweet aroma and unique toffee-like flavour, adding golden to light amber colour to beer. A distinguishing characteristic of all Caramel malts is glassiness. This glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components that give true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute mouth feel, foam, foam retention, and extended beer stability.
