Thomas Fawcett Crushed Mild Ale Malt – 5kg Bag

Stock up with 5kg of Thomas Fawcett Mild Ale Malt, the darker, sweeter base malt behind traditional English milds. It is the largest bag we sell, for brewers who make malt-led session ales again and again.

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: 5kg, 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

Regular all-grain brewers of milds, brown ales and darker session beers who want their base malt in one bag.

Also available in: 1kg, 2.5kg

• Chocolate Malt - 2.5kg - colour and roast in a matching size
