Supernova malt is a new roasted malt from Gladfield that adds nutty, toasted caramel flavours to a beer and can be used as a replacement for traditional crystal malts to change the flavour characteristics and reduce the beers residual sweetness. This malt is started with Canterbury winter barley and taken through Gladfields germination process before it is roasted to develop flavour and colour. This is a great malt and has been used in many beer styles such as Pilsners and IPAs between 10 – 25%, and Amber Ales up to 25% as it adds a rich depth of malty flavour and really makes this style shine. It goes well in a Porter up to 10-15%, complementing the darker roast malts and adding complexity and is also great for Pale Ales for great toasty caramel flavours that won’t overtake the hops (use 5-10%).
