The Haná variety of barley was first developed and grown in the Haná area of Czech Moravia, an area of Europe long fabled for its high quality malting barley.

Haná’s early claim to fame was that it made up the mash of the first-ever golden-blond Pilsner lager, which was created in 1842 by Bavarian brewmaster Josef Groll at the Pivovar (Burgher Brewery) of Pilsen in Bohemia.

The subsequent global success of the pilsner beer style spawned the planting of Haná barley in many countries around the world. The original 19th century Haná is internationally recognized as the classic genetic progenitor of modern top-quality brewing barleys.

Tasting Notes:

Freshly baked bread, clean and smooth

Crisp Malting Group have taken just a few Haná seeds and grown them up over successive generations on prime Norfolk malting barley land, harvested them and slowly and carefully steeped, germinated and gently kilned them on their 1870s floor maltings.

Crisp and BeerCo.com.au are now ready to release our the first harvest, consisting of just 14 Tonnes world-wide. From the malt you will notice, flavours of freshly baked bread with subtle malty notes producing a clean, smooth, sweet wort.

We hop you enjoy this barley of brewing history and brew your most amazing Pilsner yet!

      Great for traditional pilsners

      Nice light heritage malt. Great when used in decoction or in a stepped mash. Perfect for a Czech Pilsner.

      Hey Ralph,
      Tanks for your review after your brew happy! How good does the foam and your Pilsener look! Amazing bro! cheers #brewhappy always

      Delicious Haná

      I've been doing a few German styles, but this was a nice surprise: The pale colour hides a delicate 'breadiness' and encompassing mouth-feel. 70% Haná and 30% Vienna, 40g Eclipse hops in two halves in the boil.

      Nice pickup on the delicate 'breadiness' of the Crisp Hana Malt. Another outstanding looking beer there my friend! cheers #brewhappy always

      Love this malt.

      Made this the base for a Czech Pils. Wow! What a great result. Tasty,malty and bready. I did a protein rest as suggested by Crisp, the hot break was amazing and the clarity is already good. Can’t wait for it to lager some more.

      Lovely Pilsner Malt

      I used this as the base malt in a Czech Pilsner and was very pleased with the results. It has quite a subtle flavour which I think works well.
      I plan to use it in a Cold IPA next.

      Hey Michael,
      Tanks for your review. Glad to hear you loved the subtle differences of Crisp Hana malt and looking forward to your feedback post COLD IPA

      A super smooth tasty malt for your next Pilsner, Helles or Kolsch!

      I brewed a 100% Hana malt Kolsch style beer recently and I'm really happy with the flavour profile from this malt. It's super smooth and bready with just a hint of sweetness to it. Another cracking heirloom malt from Crisp!

      Tanks Brendan for your feedback. Great to hear that you noticed the quality and flavour from Crisp Hana Heritage Malt PS that beer sounds amazing by the way cheers #brewhappy always

      amazing malt

      Beautiful toasty, bready flavours and aromas in a crystal clear lager. Great for brewing a paler coloured ale and still have a full malty flavoured beer.

      Mashing delight

      I devised a Pilsner recipe using German floor malted Bohemian Pilsner malt, then saw the special Beerco had on Crisp Hana malt, being a tight arsed pom I couldn't resist and ordered 5Kg. I used it as a direct replacement for the malt I was planning to use without thinking about it's potential extract then when I had mashed in I started searching for info about it, I also discovered it is in brewers friend and when I swapped it into my recipe it came up with a very lower starting gravity, 1.037 down from my target 1.044 based on 80% efficiency and 24L at end of boil.

      Imagine my delight when I ended up with 21L at 1.0046 at the end of boil, my efficiency (according to brewers friend) had gone up to 89%

      Now I just have to wait a couple of months to see how good it tastes.

      Excellent malt

      A real wow malt so far... I brewed a Pils with it, it's still fermenting now, with Czech pilsner yeast and loads of fresh saaz in a big late and whirlpool hopstand addition. The Hana malt needed a little crush adjustment as it seems to have quite a strong husk, but a double crush with 1.15mm then 0.95mm made for a good crush, worked well in a single infusion. Tasting the wort so far, it tastes so much like Urquell it's uncanny, here's hoping it finishes up that way in a few weeks after some conditioning.

      Kudos to Crisp for bringing back this heritage malt, I'll be using it more when I want to get that authentic Czech flavour!
