2-Row Pilsen Malt

Pilsen Malt, also known as Two-Row Barley Malt, is a versatile and widely trusted base malt for craft beer brewing, suitable for virtually all beer styles. Carefully produced for consistent performance, it delivers excellent fermentability, high extract potential and balanced malt flavour. Pilsen Malt provides clean grain character and smooth fermentation across pale ales, IPAs, lagers, stouts and more.

Pale Ale Malt

Pale ale base malt delivers a rich, malty aroma and imparts a deeper golden hue when compared to Pilsen Malt. Offering sufficient enzymatic activity to support large proportions of specialty malts, Pale Ale Malt is the perfect choice for full-bodied pale ales, traditional English styles, bitters and amber beers.

6-Row Barley Malt

Six-Row Barley Malt is known for its high enzyme content, making it particularly well suited to adjunct brewing and high-gravity applications. Fully modified for reliable mash performance, it provides efficient starch conversion, consistent extract yield, and balanced grain character. Its strong enzymatic activity also makes it an excellent base malt for brewing with adjunct cereals such as rice, maize or sorghum, where additional conversion power is required.

Wheat Malt

Wheat Malt features a light colour and delivers a soft, mild aroma with notes of fresh bread. Produced from specially selected wheat varieties, it increases extract, boosts foam stability, and introduces a velvety body with a fuller mouthfeel thanks to its optimal protein levels. It is an essential foundation for traditional wheat, white, and light beers.

Specialty malts

Our specialty malts bring depth, colour and character to your craft. They are carefully kilned and roasted to unlock layers of flavour. From rich caramel sweetness ideal for a caramel malt recipe to bold roasted notes or a signature Vienna malt flavour, our specialty malts are the finishing touch that transforms a good recipe into something unforgettable.

Vienna Malt

Vienna Malt is kilned to develop rich malt aroma and flavour with a lighter colour than Munich malt. It delivers smooth bready notes, subtle toast character and balanced sweetness, adding depth and golden hue without contributing crystal-style flavours. Suitable for use as a base malt or in combination with other malts, Vienna Malt enhances malt complexity and colour in pale ales, lagers, Märzen and amber beer styles.

Munich Malt

Develops rich colour and pronounced malt aromatics without imparting crystal-style sweetness. Munich Malt delivers warm bread crust, toasted malt character and deep golden to amber hues while maintaining smooth fermentability. Ideal for amber ales, Märzen, bock, dunkel, and other malt-forward craft beer styles, enhancing depth, body, and layered malt complexity.

Chit Malt

Chit Malt is an under-modified premium malt for brewing, designed to build fuller body, strengthen foam structure, and improve overall beer texture without significantly impacting flavour or colour. Its higher protein content and low colour contribution make it ideal for hazy IPA, New England IPA and other unfiltered, hop-forward craft beer styles where stable turbidity and lasting head retention are critical.

Melanoidin Malt

Develops a bold, malt-forward flavour with balanced sweetness and lightly toasted notes. Melanoidin Malt delivers rich malt complexity, warm bread crust character and subtle caramel undertones that enhance depth without overpowering other ingredients. Ideal for amber ales, red ales, brown ales, bocks and malt-forward lagers, this malt contributes layered flavour, appealing colour and a rounded mouthfeel.

Caramel Malt

Caramel Malt is produced from saccharified green malt that is then caramelised. Available in light and dark varieties, these malts offer a gradual spectrum of colour and flavour, from soft caramel and toffee notes to deeper raisin and burnt sugar flavours. This allows brewers to easily adjust colour and infuse sweet, malty notes without heavily roasted astringency. This versatile spectrum of colour and flavour is perfect for adjusting a wide range of ales and lagers to meet your exact brewing needs.

Coffee Malt

Coffee Malt reinforces beer colour while adding a smooth mouthfeel and rich complexity. It imparts a nutty, distinct coffee flavour and aroma without harshness, making it the perfect choice to bring out signature notes in any dark ale. This specialty malt is ideal for stouts, porters, Scottish ales, dark Belgian styles, or brown ales seeking a hint of fresh roasted coffee.

Chocolate Malt

With a rich chocolate and coffee flavour and aroma, coupled with a subtle light astringency, this malt adds depth and complexity. Chocolate Malt achieves its distinctive characteristics through the formation of pyrazines and pyrroles. Care is paramount in using this malt, as its intense colour and flavour can dominate, if not balanced carefully. Masterfully applied in the production of porters and stouts.

Black Malt

Black Malt delivers intense roasted character with strong burnt coffee, char and dry astringent notes. Even at low inclusion rates, it contributes deep red highlights to beer, while higher usage results in an opaque black colour and pronounced roast intensity. Ideal for stouts, porters, schwarzbier and other dark craft beer styles, black malt enhances colour depth, roast complexity and firm bitterness.

Enzyme-Rich Malts (including diastatic malt)

Meticulously crafted with elevated enzyme levels, this malt optimises starch conversion and fermentation efficiency to maximise alcohol yield. It delivers strong enzymatic performance and high alcohol production while preserving nuanced, grain-driven flavour profiles. This seamless balance makes it the ideal choice for craft distillers producing high-quality whiskey and other distilled spirits.

Peated Malts

Peated Malt is produced by circulating smoke from a traditional peat fire through the malt bed, allowing phenolic compounds to be absorbed into the grain surface. With a high phenol level, Peated Malt delivers intense smoky, earthy and medicinal peat character.
Ideal for peated whisky production, smoky Scotch-style spirits, and specialty craft beer such as smoked ales and experimental stouts.

Malts made from Non-GN barley varieties

Crafted from Non-GN barley, this high diastatic power malt delivers exceptional enzyme activity, efficient starch conversion, and superior spirits yield. It does not contain glycosidic nitrile precursors to avoid ethyl carbamate formation, ensuring a cleaner, higher-purity spirit. This malt provides the ideal balance of sugars and nutrients for whiskey, bourbon, and other grain-based spirits.

Rye Malt

Rye Malt provides a distinctive, slightly spicy flavour profile that adds complexity and depth.* Naturally higher in protein and beta-glucans, Rye Malt enhances mouthfeel and head retention while contributing a smooth, slightly dry finish. Its characteristic rye spice is balanced by subtle grain sweetness, making it an excellent addition to rye IPAs, pale ales, saisons and specialty ales.

*The use of rice hulls is recommended with Rye Malt to slow down lautering.

Oat Malt

Oat Malt has higher beta-glucan levels than barley or wheat malt, contributing to a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel and creamy texture. While these beta-glucans can increase wort viscosity and require careful lautering management, they also support enhanced head retention and a silky body. With low diastatic power and a distinct biscuit flavour, oat malt is ideal for adding texture, haze and rich flavour to NEIPAs, Belgian-style witbiers, stouts, porters, robust British ales and winter beers.

Buckwheat Malt

Malted from a premium pseudo-cereal, buckwheat* malt has no diastatic power and is gluten-free.** It reinforces the brew with a rich, deep tone, a unique creamy texture, and a distinctively nutty, malty flavour profile. This specialty malt is the perfect foundation for any type of gluten-free beer style, and it serves as an excellent adjunct in specialty beers to add depth and complexity.

*The use of rice hulls is recommended with Buckwheat Malt to slow down lautering.
**Processed in a facility where gluten is processed.
