Description

What is Château Peated?
Château Peated is a specialty malt, treated with a distinct smoking process during kilning, using Scottish peat moss. This method imparts a complex, smoky character, setting it apart from standard roasted malts. Known for its potent aroma and spicy accents, Château Peated is a popular choice among brewers looking to add bold, smoky flavours to traditional styles, such as Scottish ales and German smoked beers.

How to Use Château Peated
Château Peated is best used in small proportions, typically no more than 10% of the malt bill, to prevent overpowering other flavour notes. This malt is versatile in its application, adding depth to smoked beers, porters, and dark ales. It pairs particularly well with dark malts and can complement woody or earthy hop varieties.

Flavour Profile
The flavour profile of Château Peated is characterised by a rich smokiness combined with earthy, spicy undertones, creating a taste reminiscent of a well-controlled “forest fire.” Its smoky presence is pronounced but balanced, adding layers of complexity to the beer without dominating the other ingredients.

Enzymatic Activity
With moderate enzymatic activity, Château Peated offers diastatic power sufficient to work harmoniously with other malt types, making it compatible in various mash settings.

Mashing
This malt can be mashed alongside other base and specialty malts. Its inclusion can add texture to the mash, improving mouthfeel, especially in heavier beer styles. Maintaining a balanced pH is key when working with Château Peated to ensure optimal fermentation and clarity.

Combining with Other Malts
Château Peated works well with caramel and dark malts, which highlight its smoky elements. Combining it with slightly roasted malts can enhance its rich head formation and mouthfeel.

Benefits of Château Peated
Château Peated’s unique production process allows brewers to achieve smoky, traditional beer styles without the need for additional smoke-based flavouring techniques. Its concentrated phenolic notes provide distinctive character, enhancing both aroma and flavour complexity.

History
Rooted in old-world brewing traditions, smoked malts like Château Peated recall the era when drying malt over open fires was common. This malt preserves that heritage while offering a more refined, accessible smoky profile, making it a favoured choice for contemporary brewers who want to evoke traditional styles with a sophisticated twist.
