Crisp’s Organic Malt fully complies with the strict regulations which govern the qualification of foods as ‘organic’.
These rules and systems, having their basis in EU law, apply not only to the handling and processing of the organic barley at the malting plant, but also through the supply chain from the condition of the land sown and the provenance of the seed through to cultivation and harvesting.
Our Organic Ale and Extra Pale Malt can be delivered in 25kg, 500kg and 1000kg bags or in bulk loads.

Our Light Munich Malt is created by taking Vienna Malt a stage further in the kiln. The additional heat promotes melanoidin reactions to produce rich bread crust flavours. Again, Light Munich Malt can be used as a base since the enzymes are suitably preserved in this malt.
The use of Munich and Vienna Malts are not just for German style beers, they add a beautiful subtle complexity to many beer styles.

As the name suggests, this grain isn’t malted. Roasted Barley imparts a dry, intensely roasted, astringent flavour and is used in guiness style stouts and strong porter. At levels below 1.5% of the grist it can be used to adjust colour and give a dry clean finish to a beer
Our Roasted Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.
Available Whole or Crushed
Smoother than roasted barley giving full roasted flavour along with a slightly tart acridity, in small amounts this malt will give a reddish hue without becoming too intense. Use at higher levels for robust to give an edge to robust porters.
Our Roasted Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.
Available Whole or Crushed
More intense in colour and flavour with distinct roasted coffee aroma and flavour along with bittersweet dark chocolate undertones. Perfect for adding depth to brown ales and bitters and a must in strong milds, stouts and porters.

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
Amber is the lowest coloured of the roasted malts and imparts a toasty, biscuity maltiness to bitter, ales, milds, porters and stouts, good for depth of flavour without too much intensity. It has no diastatic power and should only be used up to 15% of the grist.
Our Roasted Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.

The most intensely flavoured and coloured of our crystal malts, we move into a different arena on aroma with roasted/sweet coffee appearing and a slight burnt caramel note, good for full flavoured dark brown and ruby ales, stouts and porters
Our Cara and Crystal Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.
Available Whole or Crushed
Roasted for longer to develop a more toffee like aroma and flavour, good for red/brown/ruby bitters and ales where it will add flavour complexity and punch through bitterness more than the light crystal.
Our Cara and Crystal Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.
Available Whole or Crushed
A great malt for adding sweet, caramel flavour to pale/amber ales. IPA’s and bitters. The lower colour is due to the shorter kilning time and this maintains the sweetness with getting too intense with the caramel notes. It will bring deep red colour to the beers depending on how much is used.
Our Cara and Crystal Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.
Available Whole or Crushed
Very useful for imparting body and a slight malty sweetness to blonde beers due to its low colour and longer chain, dextrin sugars.

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.

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).

Vienna Malt is made on a conventional malt kiln and is cured at moderately higher temperatures than pale malt. Its origins lie in Vienna or amber lagers, but Vienna Malt will give golden hues to other beers and will develop body and mouthfeel. It retains sufficient enzyme activity to be used as base malt in all-malt grists.
