Roasty, Nutty Specialty Malt for Unique Coffee-Like Flavor

Simpsons Brown (Coffee) Malt is a distinctive specialty malt that brings rich, roasted flavors with a hint of coffee-like bitterness to your brews. Known for its ability to add a nutty, toasted character, this malt is a great addition to darker beer styles or for adding complexity to lighter ales. Whether you're brewing a traditional English porter, a brown ale, or experimenting with hybrid styles, Simpsons Brown (Coffee) Malt provides a unique flavor profile that enhances the richness of your beer.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Simpsons Brown (Coffee) Malt offers a robust, roasted flavor with notes of toasted nuts, dark coffee, and a subtle hint of caramel. The malt delivers a dark brown color and a rich, malty aroma that contributes to the beer's complexity. It has a balanced, yet bold profile that works well in beers where a deeper malt character is desired without overpowering other flavors.

Typical Usage

This specialty malt is ideal for porters, brown ales, stouts, and even some pale ales, adding depth and a coffee-like richness to the beer. It is typically used in smaller quantities (5-10% of the grain bill) to prevent overwhelming bitterness while providing a smooth, roasted complexity. Simpsons Brown (Coffee) Malt can also be used as a substitute for Chocolate Malt when a less intense, more nutty flavor is desired.

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.
