Maize Malt (Gladfield)
Gladfield Maize Malt is a premium maize grown in the South Island of New Zealand that has a starchy, bland flavour. Maize Malt adds mild, less malty flavour to beers as well as less body. It also provides a drier and crisper beer.
Typical Beer Styles include American Light Lager, Mexican Lagers, Pilsners. It is also suited for Bourbon Whisky making. Typical usage rates are up to 25% in beer and 51% in distilling.
We recommend adding Rice or Oat Hulls to recipes using more than 10% of Maize Malt to avoid a stuck mash.
