Gladfield Shepherds Delight Malt

Gladfield Shepherds Delight Malt is what we consider as stepped up version of our Aurora malt. Shepherds Delight malt has intense bready, toasted and kola flavour with a lingering fruity sweetness. This malt should be used sparingly to supercharge the maltiness of a beer and will give flavours similar to a decoction mash. Used at too high a concentration could lead to bitterness in the final beer we recommend combining Shepherds Delight with our Vienna malt to give a balancing sweetness. This malt will give a stunning red hue to your beers.
