Exploring the Spectrum of Malted Grains: A Brewer's Palette

The grains used in a pint of Wildcraft Beer...

In the enchanting realm of brewing, the artistry lies not only in the alchemy of hops and yeast but also in the diverse array of malted grains that lay the foundation for every sip of beer. 

Malted grains, carefully selected and expertly blended, contribute flavours, colours, and textures that transform a mere mixture into a masterpiece. Let's journey through the captivating world of malted grains, unveiling the unique characteristics of some beloved varieties.

The starting blobk

1. Maris Otter: The Golden Standard Starting with the gold standard of malts – Maris Otter. Revered for its rich, biscuity flavors and versatile nature, Maris Otter provides a solid base for a wide range of beer styles. From pale ales to stouts, its sweet, nutty notes have made it a favorite among brewers seeking a balanced malt profile. 

 2. Pale Malt: The Blank Canvas Pale malt forms the blank canvas for many beers. Its mild, neutral flavor allows the other ingredients to shine, making it an ideal choice for creating a clean, crisp backdrop in various styles, from lagers to ales. We grow our own pale ale malt on the farm.  The variety, called Loreate, was chosen for its high yields and reliability for both brewing and distilling.


Speciality Malts

3. Cara/Crystal Malt: The Touch of Sweetness -  Cara or crystal malts bring a touch of sweetness and caramel character to the brew. Available in various color levels, they lend color and body while imparting notes of toffee, caramel, and even dark fruit, enhancing complexity and depth.

Beers: Wild Eye PA, Wild Ride

 4. Chocolate Malt: - Decadent Richness Indulge in the decadent richness of chocolate malt. Despite its name, it doesn't actually contain chocolate. Instead, it offers deep roasted flavors and dark color reminiscent of cocoa and coffee, making it a key player in stouts and porters. 

Beers: Wild Stallion, Wild Wood

 5. Roast Barley: Espresso Elegance - For an espresso-like punch, roast barley steps up to the plate. With intense roasted flavors, this malt adds bitterness and dark color to the brew, often seen in Irish stouts where its coffee-like notes shine. 

Beers: Wild Stallion, Wild One

 6. Black Malt: The Darkest Depths - Venturing into the darkest depths of color and flavor, black malt is a powerhouse of roasted character. Used sparingly, it imparts robust bitterness and pitch-black color, finding its place in imperial stouts and robust porters. 

Beers: Wild Winter, all our stouts

 7. Munich Malt: Malty Warmth - Munich malt brings a warm malty embrace to the beer. With its toasty, biscuity notes, it can add depth and body to a wide range of styles, particularly amber and darker ales.

Beers: Wild Eye PA, Wild Anchor

8. Wheat Malt: A hero for head  - For lighter and hazy brews, wheat malt takes the spotlight. Iit contributes a smooth mouthfeel and enhances head retention.

Beers: All of them

The world of malted grains is an orchestra of flavors, colours, and aromas, allowing our brewers at Wildcraft to compose their symphonies.  Each malt brings its own personality to the blend, contributing to the final masterpiece. So, next time you enjoy a Wildcraftt beer, take a moment to savour the intricate interplay of malted grains that harmonize to create that delightful pint in your hand. This blog only touches on the surface of the different malts we use so look out for other future articles.

  • SCAMS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS, BUT ALL SHARE A COMMON GOAL: TAKING YOUR MONEY

    Fraud can happen in many ways—whether it’s binary options scams, love scams, forex fraud, crypto investment schemes, or loan scams. If you’ve been a victim of any of these, it’s easy to feel confused and overwhelmed by the different financial institutions and legal processes involved in recovery. The journey to reclaim your stolen funds can often be frustrating and difficult to manage on your own.

    The recovery process usually involves navigating complex legal and financial systems, which can be even more challenging without experience. In such cases, it’s crucial to seek professional help from a trusted firm specializing in fund recovery.

    “ YOUR CHANCES OF RECOVERY DEPENDS ON THE RIGHT FIRM “

    The success of recovering your stolen funds largely depends on the firm you choose to work with. Unfortunately, the internet is full of fraudulent companies pretending to be recovery firms. These scammers often use misleading tactics and false promises to deceive victims, claiming they can recover lost funds when in fact, they are just after more of your money.

    “ BE CAUTIOUS OF IMPERSONATORS AND SCAMS ”

    Many scammers impersonate legitimate firms and use deceptive tactics such as creating fake email addresses with numbers or claiming to have recovered funds for others. It’s essential to be vigilant and carefully select a reputable firm with proven expertise.
