Product Details

Taste & Character

Simpsons Peated Malt is a specialty malt infused with traditional peat smoke during kilning, imparting distinctive smoky, earthy, and phenolic flavors. With a color range of 2.0–3.0 Lovibond, it provides a pale base while contributing an unmistakable peaty character that adds depth and intrigue to the finished beer or spirit.

Where It Shines

This malt is most famously associated with Scottish-style ales and whiskies, but it can also be used creatively in Porters, Stouts, and experimental beers where a smoky profile is desired. Its earthy and aromatic qualities lend themselves to bold recipes that highlight complexity and tradition.

Role in the Brewhouse

Simpsons Peated Malt is generally used as a specialty malt to add aroma and flavor rather than as a base. Its phenolic intensity can dominate recipes, so it’s often employed in small percentages to balance other malt contributions while providing a signature smoky edge.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use Peated Malt sparingly—typically 2–10% of the grist—to achieve smoky complexity without overpowering the beer. Pair it with strong base malts or roasted grains for balance, and consider its impact on aroma as well as flavor when building recipes.
