Gladfield Rye Malt is produced from Canterbury, New Zealand grown rye corn. Rye does not have an outer husk so it benefits from a finer mill setting than malted barley. The rye is malted with the same care as Gladfield other malts and modifies beautifully in the kiln.
Rye is a popular adjunct in a variety of beer styles from traditional German Rogenbier to Rye IPAs. Rye is also commonly used in American Style Whisky.
Rye brings a spicy character to your beers and whisky!
