Characteristics
Made from two-row spring barley, this malt is obtained by malting and a specific light kilning.
Role of the malt
Due to its low colour and high diastatic power, this malt is used
as a base for many
recipes. It is, of course, the base malt for the PILS and LAGER types of beer.

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.

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
