Summary of Malt Characteristics

Crisp Pale Ale
A premium ale malt of the best barley variety grown from each crop year (recent examples include Fanfare and Optic). This malt offers superior milling, run-off, and extract (typically higher than domestic varieties). Crisp Pale Ale is malted in Great Ryburgh using modern malting techniques to give consistent, high quality malt.

Crisp Maris Otter
This variety of barley has long been the favorite of the English brewers for its rich flavor and very forgiving brewing performance. In the field, it is lower yielding than the more modern varieties, so it is grown under contract to Crisp each year by selected Norfolk farmers. In the brew house, excellent yields and efficient run-off make it the malt of choice for producing English style beers. This malt is produced

Crisp Colored Malts
Crisp Malting offers a range of colored malts to provide flavor balance and color to your beers. All malt is produced from premium two-row barley. The roasting (to first crystallize and then further to caramelize the sugars progressively) gives a more intense color and flavor to each of the malts listed. Although the malt is produced to a tight specification, the process and timing of each batch is controlled by the eye and nose of a skilled Roast-Man who, by practice, knows when to discharge the kiln to give the desired characteristics of the malt required. In addition to the colored malts, roasted barley is also offered for use in dark beers, porter, etc.
