Crisp Best Ale Malt is crafted from 2–row winter barley cultivated in the light, sandy soils of North Norfolk, UK. This base malt is renowned for its rich color and balanced sweet, malty flavor, making it ideally suited for ale brewing. During the malting process, high cast moistures and optimal germination times and temperatures result in an even, well–modified malt. The final product boasts a color of 2.5–3.5 Lovibond and a maximum moisture content of 3.5%, with an extract fine grind minimum of 82.0%.

In the brewhouse, Crisp Best Ale Malt offers excellent extract potential and is highly versatile, allowing it to be used as up to 100% of the grist in various beer styles. Its balanced enzymatic activity supports the inclusion of adjuncts, providing brewers with flexibility in recipe formulation. The malt contributes a robust malt backbone and a warm, golden hue to the finished beer, enhancing both flavor and appearance.

This malt is particularly well–suited for traditional British ales, including session bitters, amber ales, best bitters, and dark milds. Its rich malt character complements hop bitterness, resulting in well–rounded and flavorful brews. Brewers seeking to create authentic ale styles will find Crisp Best Ale Malt to be a reliable and high–quality choice.
