Bold, Roasty Specialty Malt for Complex Flavors

Simpsons Amber Malt is a robust specialty malt that adds bold, roasted flavors and rich color to your beer. Known for its distinctive toasty, biscuit-like character, this malt provides complexity and depth, making it an excellent choice for darker beer styles or adding a touch of roasted intensity to lighter brews. Whether you're brewing a traditional English ale or experimenting with creative malt combinations, Simpsons Amber Malt contributes a unique flavor profile that sets your beer apart.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Simpsons Amber Malt delivers a pronounced roasty, biscuity flavor with underlying notes of caramel and light coffee. Its flavor intensity is well-balanced, allowing it to enhance the beer's malt complexity without overpowering other ingredients. The malt contributes a deep amber to brown color, adding both visual appeal and a rich, layered flavor profile.

Typical Usage

This specialty malt is ideal for a variety of beer styles, from traditional English ales and brown ales to porters and stouts. Typically used in small amounts (5-20% of the grain bill), Simpsons Amber Malt provides a toasty, roasted backbone that complements other malts in the recipe. Its bold flavors also make it suitable for adding depth to pale ales and IPAs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer grain milling services?

Yes, we provide grain milling services free of charge before shipping. To have your grain milled, please select the "Yes, please mill my grain" option on each grain product before adding it to your cart. We use a high-end, 3-roller mill from Spike, set to a standard gap of 4.5, which achieves optimal cracking while minimizing excessive flour. If you prefer a coarser or finer mill, leave a note in the shopping cart, and we’ll adjust it to your preference.

If we notice that most grains were selected for milling but a few were not, we will assume it was an oversight and mill all of them. If your intention is different, please clarify in the shopping cart notes section.

How do you ensure accuracy when weighing grains?

We take great care to ensure that you receive the correct grains in the exact quantities needed for your recipe. Our multi-step process ensures precision, starting with weighing each grain type individually to an accuracy of 0.08 ounces. After that, we perform a final check by weighing the combined total to confirm accuracy. Your total grain weight will always be slightly over the ordered amount, never under, and always within an acceptable range for even the most detail-oriented brewers (like ourselves).

How are grains packaged before shipment?

We provide a convenient recipe-building tool to streamline the process for you, our team, and the environment. We encourage you to use this tool to build your recipes, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve ordered in the correct quantities. By combining all the grains for a single recipe into one bag, we help speed up your brew day, reduce packaging waste, and save time during order fulfillment. Rest assured, we prioritize accuracy when measuring and packing your grains.
