Pale Planet Malt

Planet is a spring barley variety, now replacing Propino as the most popular spring brewing variety of malting barley grown in the UK. Planet has proved to be so versatile, it has become a very widely grown cereal variety. We are blessed in the UK with arguably the prime climate for barley growing. Couple this with the extreme care taken during the malting process by our malting team, and the result is outstanding. Our Pale and Extra Pale malts made from Planet malting barley are considered by many to be some of the finest Spring barley malts available.  Applications:  Planet has a high yield and performs very well in the brewhouse. We recommend a mashing temperature of at least 65°C as this is the average gelatinisation temperature for this variety. Mashing at a lower temperature could cause a slow conversion or even stall as the starch might not fully gelatinise. Planet has a cereal-forward taste complemented with a mild nuttiness, imparted because of its slightly higher attenuation
