Gladfield’s American Ale Malt is perfect for brewers who have found that our regular Ale Malt adds too much of a malty, toasted flavour profile to certain beer styles. This base malt has been made from plump low protein Autumn barley varieties and then subjected to our traditional long cool germination period. The grains are then kilned using a special recipe that imparts a typical Ale colour for a cleaner, less toasted flavour. When brewed, this malt produces a vibrant, clean, yet solid hop‑forward malt profile and is perfect for producing American-style beers. The American Ale Malt offers the brewer scope for innovation and the ability to create beers that are full of character and sophistication.EBC Test MethodSpecificationTypical AnalysisMoisture (max) S.5Extract – Fine Dry miny80.5Extract – Coarse Dry79.5Extract – Fine As-is78Extract – Coarse As-is77Saccharification time1010OdourNormalWort Colour4.5 – 5.55Total Nitrogen (%)1.45 – 1.751.65Kolbach Index35 – 4138pH5.7 – 66Diastatic Power (WK) min.160200FAN (mg/l) min120135Friability (min) �91Glassy Corns (max) .5P.U.G.
