Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Amber malt in a 500g bag: a toasted English malt that gives a dry, biscuity flavour and a reddish-amber hue to ales.

The 500g bag is ideal for trying it in a single batch or for recipes that only need a small amount.

Mash it with a pale base malt such as Maris Otter. Most recipes use it at up to 10% of the grain bill.

All-grain and partial-mash brewers making traditional English ales who want more biscuit and colour than a pale malt alone gives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it crushed?

Yes, it comes crushed and ready to use, so you do not need a grain mill.

Does amber malt need to be mashed?

Yes. It has no enzymes of its own, so mash it alongside a pale base malt that will convert its starch.

Which size should I buy?

500g suits a single batch or a small addition. If you use it often, the 1kg or 2.5kg bags are better value.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from damp and pests. Crushed malt is best used fresh, so buy the size you will use reasonably soon.
