Thomas Fawcett Crushed Mild Ale Malt – 1kg Bag

Mild Ale Malt from Thomas Fawcett is the traditional base malt for English milds and darker session ales. It is richer and darker than pale ale malt, with a sweet, malty character. This 1kg bag suits topping up a recipe or blending.

What it brings

• A sweet, strongly malty aroma and flavour
• More colour than standard pale ale malt
• Full body - the backbone of a proper dark mild
• Most of its enzymes survive kilning, so it can be used at high rates and convert fully

Specifications

• Maltster: Thomas Fawcett & Sons, Castleford
• Type: speciality base malt, stewed slightly before kilning
• Colour: 7.5-9.0 EBC, maltster's typical analysis
• Typical use: the main malt in milds; blend with pale malt elsewhere
• Pack size: 1kg, supplied crushed

How to use it

Use it as most or all of the grist for a mild, or blend it with pale ale malt to add malt depth to other British styles. Its diastatic power is lower than pale malt, but high enough for full conversion.

Who it's for

Brewers making dark and light milds, brown ales, porters and bitters who want a fuller malt character.

Also available in: 2.5kg, 5kg
