The next stage up from Amber Malt is our Brown Malt. The colour is produced in the same manner as Amber, but is roasted for that bit longer to give a nutty roast dryness with a light brown hue, perfect for brown ales and milds.
Remember that when assessing roasted malts, it is the resultant colour and flavour of the wort and beer that is important rather than the colour of the outer barley husk of the malt in your hand.
Different varieties of barley may give roasted malts with differing husk colour, but will produce wort with the expected colour and flavour when mashed.
Our Cara and Crystal Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.
Available Whole or Crushed
A slightly higher coloured malt than the regular Cara, Cara Gold will add depth to a beer and bring sweetness and golden/amber colour, good for lower ABV, paler beers.

- Cascade was developed in the U.S.D.A. breeding program in Oregon and released as a U.S. aroma variety in 1972. It is characterized by a dark green elongated cone which contains low amounts of alpha acids. The aroma is of medium strength and very distinct. The variety has good cone production and is agronomically strong with good crown resistance to downy mildew. The definitive hop for American Pale Ales, IPA's and Black Ales/Black IPA (also known as Cascadian Ale due to the use of this variety). Widespread use in British Bitters, ESB's, Pale Ales and very effective in fruity Blonde ales and Barley Wines too.

Amagical thing happens when amino acids and reducing sugars combine at critical temperatures; the Maillard reaction. Starting with higher protein spring barley we germinate to higher levels of modification then adjust early kilning conditions to utilise the malt enzymes to hydrolyse protein and convert starch in sugars.
Finally, a long drying phase with a higher temperature results in the Maillard reaction taking place to produce pronounced rich malt, freshly baked bread crust and the characteristic Munich bite at the back of the palate.
*Up to 100% (lower DP and extract than Light Munich so at 100% less speciality malt can be added).
Our Roasted Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.
Available Whole or Crushed
Dextrin malt is germinated in the process to create longer chain sugars that survive the mashing process to give higher attenuation limits and thus fuller tasting beers. It can provide extra body and improve the head retention of your brew.

- When the earth and the sun align, a new variety of hops is born. A cool little story on how Equinox™ HBC 366 earned its name. During early Spring, Equinox™ comes out of the ground as a bright lime green variety. Over the course of the summer, it gradually turns to a rich, dark green. Equal light, equal dark - Equinox™. From the breeders of Citra® YCR 394 cv, Mosaic™ HBC 369 cv comes the latest varietal release – Equinox™ HBC 366. These hops are generally some of the most sought-after in the industry. The diversified and pronounced aroma characteristics combined with extremely high oil content and a tight cone structure make this hop variety very unique.
- Ella is a new aroma variety which contributes hoppy and floral notes, with subtle hints of anise and a satisfying fullness of palate. Stella is reminiscent of, yet distinctly different in character to noble European varieties, and provides a contrast to the citrus and tropical fruit characters of many modern hops.Ella grows vigorously, producing moderately large, dense cones which mature mid- to late-season, with a broad harvest window helping to ensure excellent physical and chemical quality in the final product. With an alpha acid content of ~15%, Ella is an aroma hop with options. This newly developed aroma hop deserves experimentation – the hoppy characters and texture on the palate would provide a new twist to a pilsner or lager, while the floral characters could provide a highlight in a wide range of beer styles. Offers the ideal alternative aroma range to Hallertauer hops.
