Peated Malt is barley malt dried over burning peat, giving the earthy, medicinal smoke associated with Islay Scotch whisky. This 1kg bag of whole, uncrushed grain suits brewers who mill their own and plan to use peat smoke across several brews.
What it brings to your beer
A small amount adds a bold, complex smokiness to Scottish ales, smoked beers and whisky-inspired recipes. Use it with a base malt such as Maris Otter for the bulk of the grain bill.
Specs
- Flavour: earthy peat smoke, medicinal, complex
- Typical use: 2-10% of the grain bill - a little goes a long way
- Supplied: uncrushed, so it needs milling before mashing
How to use
Mill just before brewing and mash with your base malt. Keep the percentage low on a first attempt and build up in later batches.
Who it is for
All-grain brewers who want genuine peat character. If you prefer a gentler, bacon-like smoke, try Weyermann Beech Smoked Barley Malt. Only need a little? The Peated Malt 500g bag is the smaller option. No mill? The Grainfather Electric Grain Mill handles whole grain at home.
