Shepherds Delight Malt (Gladfield)
Shepherds Delight is a unique malt made by Gladfield Malt. It has a concentrated, intense deep flavour (more so than Gladfield Aurora Malt). It will provide a potent bready, toasted, cola flavour with a lingering fruity sweetness and red hue to the brewed beer. This malt should be used sparingly because it gives a powerful malt flavour to the beer similar to a decoction mash. Using too high a concentration of this malt could lead to bitterness in the final beer. Gladfield recommend combining Shepherds Delight Malt with their Vienna Malt to give a balancing sweetness.
Beers made with Shepherds Delight benefit from an ageing period for few weeks so the flavour mellows out.
Use: Provides a malty, toasted, cola flavour and a deep red hue to beers.
