Distilling Malt

Made from high-quality spring barley like Laureate, this modern malt offers excellent extract potential with a clean, crisp malt profile. Ideal for a broad range of ale styles where consistency and efficiency matter.

A quality pale malt made from two-row spring malting barley, typically Laureate, which is approved for both brewing and distilling. The malt is germinated for longer to promote enzyme activity and modification, and then kilned at slightly lower temperatures in order to maximise diastatic power. These modern varieties have large uniform grains and as a result the low nitrogen samples produce malts with very good extract potential.
