Favourite Pale Ale IPA Malt?

[James Lao]

Hi Legends,

Was wondering what people’s preferences were for pale malt - maltsters etc., for doing pale ales / IPA’s?

Since starting doing partials I have been mainly using Maris Otter, but was thinking of changing it up a bit and thinking of using some Aussie or kiwi types / brands.

Simpsons v Gladfield v Joe White etc

Cheers

If you want something less malty than MO then I suggest Gladfield American Ale Malt.

I use it in my American or Australian Pale ales.

I use Coopers Ale malt as my base malt in partials and specialty malts for the character of the wort. I got some MO recently to give it a go but I've used golden promise a few times and that worked well That was ~300g GP with 750g CA. In the batch with MO I also got some American Ale malt to try. That will be in the next batch.

I use MO for my dark ales and most SMASH brews. If I need "regular" pale malt, I use Barrett Burston.

Coopers, BB or JW are all good IMO

Thanks for the replies,

Am thinking of going with an Aussie  or NZ malt this time.

It will only save a dollar or 2 but it’s good to mix it up eh!

Cheers
