Accuracy & Detail

We make it simple to get exactly the malt you need — sold by the ounce or by the pound. Each variety is weighed with precision to a 0.08-ounce tolerance and double-checked to keep your recipe on target.

How We Package

You also choose how we package it. Use the Recipe Selector to combine all your malts into one bag for convenience — that saves us time in packaging and we pass that savings on to you. Or select “None” if you prefer them bagged separately. And if you’d like, we’ll mill your malts at no extra cost.

Product Details

Taste & Character

Gambrinus ESB Malt is a specialty base malt crafted to deliver the rich, traditional character of English-style ales. With a color range of 3.5–5.0 Lovibond, it imparts a warm golden hue while offering pronounced notes of toffee, biscuit, and caramel. Its flavor depth provides a full, satisfying malt backbone that defines classic Extra Special Bitters and similar styles.

Where It Shines

This malt is ideally suited for brewing Extra Special Bitters (ESBs), Pale Ales, and other English-inspired styles. It also adds richness to Amber Ales, Porters, and malt-forward craft recipes, where its toasty, caramelized profile complements specialty malts and balances hop bitterness.

Role in the Brewhouse

As a specialty base malt, Gambrinus ESB Malt provides strong enzymatic activity while contributing complex flavor. It can serve as the primary malt in English-style ales or be combined with specialty grains to create layered and distinctive malt character. Its extract potential makes it highly dependable for consistent brewing performance.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use Gambrinus ESB Malt as 50–100% of the grist for authentic English-style ales, or combine with crystal and darker malts to add depth and color. Its balance of enzymatic power and rich flavor ensures versatility in both traditional and modern recipes.
