Gladfield American Ale malt is the answer for brewers who find the Gladfield Ale Malt will add too much malty and toasted flavour profile to certain beer styles. The Gladfield American Ale malt starts as do all other Gladfield base malts with a traditional long cool germination period. What differentiates Gladfield American Ale Malt from the Gladfield Ale Malt is a newly developed kilning regime that favours colour formation typical of an Ale malt but with a clean malt profile and without the extra toasted flavour. This malt has been a favourite for producing the ever popular hop forward American style Ales and IPAs after which it was named.

Keeping in tune with craft and home brewers and drinkers tastes of today Gladfield Malt has crafted the all new Gladfield American Ale malt as an alternative to the standard Gladfield Ale malt for some notable hop forward beer styles, like American Pale Ale or American IPAs.
Gladfield American Ale malt has enhanced malty character specifically for ales, without the toasted flavours, while it retains the iconic colour profile of the original Gladfield Ale malt. As a result the Gladfield American Ale malt offers the brewer new scope for innovation in the process of creating beers that are full of character and sophistication.
Craft Brewer, Stephen at Hallertau Brewbar and Restaurant, Auckland, New Zealand gave the following testimonial to Gladfield American Ale malt:
"We have been using the Gladfield American Ale malt and are very pleased with the results. It produces a vibrant, clean, yet solid malt profile that presents hop characters remarkably well, especially dry hops. This malt is a must for any brewer striving to showcase hop characters in their beer."

Do you stock American ale malt? Also, you supply crystal malt in 1kg bags but not wheat malt, 5kg bags when a common addition is only 100gms
Do you have Gladfield American Ale Malt in stock, if not when will it be available?
Will call this week. Already have Adelaide brewers asking for this.
Cheers
