Blogs and recipes
Recipe – Best Bitter
Since this Best Bitter recipe relies on various caramel malts, it delivers a balanced malt backbone with a crisp finish. Moreover, it showcases how caramel malts enhance both flavour and mouthfeel. British Bitters evolved from English Pale Ales in the late 1800s.
Recipe – NEIPA
New England IPA (NEIPA) is an American-style IPA celebrated for its intense fruit flavours and aromas, soft body, and smooth mouthfeel. This style is often opaque, showcasing substantial haze. Unlike traditional IPA, a NEIPA recipe possesses less perceived bitterness.
Caramel malts
Caramel malts have come a long way, but their roots go back to traditional kilning techniques. Brewers once covered kilns with tarpaulins to trap moisture while heating green malt to 60–75°C. After two hours, the starch inside fully converted to sugars.
