Sub-Base Malt
Gladfield Wheat Malt is produced from an old English wheat variety that modifies very well, resulting in a higher yield. This malt gives clean light coloured wort. Wheat Malt can be used in many beer styles to add head retention, body and a wheat malty flavour to the finished beer. All the wheat grain that we use on our Wheat Malt is single sourced from the Birkett Family from Leeston, Canterbury.
