No. 19 Maris Otter Ale Malt
The No. 19 floor at our Great Ryburgh maltings dates back to when Crisp began and has been producing malt virtually uninterrupted since the late 19th century.
We take our superior Maris Otter^® barley and malt it in the traditional way; hand turned, germinated slowly on the floors and kilned for over three days to maximise the robust flavours associated with Maris Otter^® Ale Malt. The result is a rich malt of superior quality; a true celebration of heritage and malting knowhow.
This is a bespoke product therefore no typical analysis is available.

Light Munich Malt
Available Whole or Crushed
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.

Roast Barley
Available Whole or Crushed
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

Black Malt
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.

Details
Chocolate Malt
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.
Our Roasted Malt can be delivered in 25kg bags.
Details
Brown Malt
Available Whole or Crushed
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.
