Gladfield Malt
• Caleb in QA @GladfieldMalt uses 400g of water to 50g of ground malt, typically run through a coffee grinder so a bit finer than if using a mill.
• Or about 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons to a cup of water, then filtered through a coffee filter.
• Pour over the water @70C• Check for colour and sip for some Flavour indication
Malt Teas
Gladfield American Ale malt starts as do all other Gladfield base malts with a traditional long cool germination period.
What differentiates Gladfield American Ale Malt from the Gladfield Ale Malt is a newly developed kilning regime that favours colour formation typical of an Ale malt but with a clean malt profile and without the extra toasted flavour.
This malt is a favourite for producing the ever popular hop forward American style Ales and IPAs after which it was named.

Gladfield American Ale
Malt
For the IPA recipe Caleb @Gladfield Malt would use the following grist percentage 6.5kg GLADFIELD American Ale malt (86%) 0.6kg GLADFIELD Wheat Malt (8%) 0.3kg GLADFIELD Toffee malt (4%) 0.15kg GLADFIELD Sour Grapes (2%)This for a 25L brew at 16.2P. This will give a strong base to an IPA that can be hopped to the high heavens both in the kettle and through dry hopping.
IPA grain bill
APA Caleb would go very similar but with some darker
crystal malts for a bit more sweetness and malt for a better hop/malt balance.
5.0kg GLADFIELD American Ale malt (84%) 0.42kg GLADFIELD Medium Crystal malt (7%) 0.42kg GLADFIELD Wheat malt (7%) 0.12kg GLADFIELD Sour Grapes malt (2%) Again for a 25L brew targeting 13P. The Sour grapes is at a rate I would use here to hit
mash pH of 5.4 with our water, depending on the water profiles it may or may not need to be adjusted.
