Supernova

[Willem Truter]

Who has tried the new Supernova malt by Gladfield and what have you done with it? I tasted it at work today and its got melanoidins to it as well as some burnt / biscuit like taste, some sweet-ish taste and a lingering aftertaste. I reckon it will do well in Pale Ales ( English, American, NZ...). Brewing with it this weekend and thinking may make it shine through the use of some MuricanAleMalt with a low mash temp and a crisp NZ hop like NelsonS and Riwaka.

I used it last week. I'll post results.

Brewed a nice Pale Ale (Similar to the Stone Pale Ale) using this malt. ale malt and supernova, nice and simple 600g in a 20 litre batch.

sounds yummy

[Crusader-Rob]

Here's hoping - I dry-hopped last night. so fingers crossed.

Have you had a taste yet? I'm keen to put some in a pale ale this weekend. 

[Crusader-Rob]

Keep your eyes peeled for Friday or aturday - I'll let you know.

TBH I'm not expecting a huge presence of it. given the hopping schedule.

is this aimed at being a Caramalt substitute?   

[Crusader-Rob]

No, this is similar colour to Medium crystal (60)

I've been told is caramelly without much sweetness a mate also told me its quite biscuity.

I won a kg at Finneys, so used it in the recently kegged PA, and then in a Hoppy Porter (Im trying to use up some hops....

When I chew it at work I get more like a crystal biscuit flavour.

So any follow up to this? What styles does it seem suited to?

[Crusader-Rob]

Hi Che,

Yep Suited to most styles I think.

I've used it in APA (Silver Medal)

I've just re-brewed it with more classic American Hops as well.

Used in Porter, was good.

My friend used in a Scottish Shilling, I'm yet to hear results, but I have really enjoyed the results I've had from it. gives it enough malty background, without adding too much caramel sweetness. which is perfect for those hoppy ales.

Sweet it's going in my next pale ale then.
