Overview and Background
In response to customer demand, we have recently launched a new range of machines for batches up to 50kg – one step up from our 8kg per tank famous Micromaltings. On the spotlights of this system we have the CM50 Kiln: with the same capabilities as all of our other malting systems, the 50kg Kiln is aimed as Brewers Kiln, which can enhance plain base malts into rich and flavorsome ones, adding value to your malt and beer.
We undertook research in 2017 to re-kiln malts and help breweries to revive true heritage beer flavours. Our first endeavor is “Constable Ale”, produced using a 7 stage kiln recipe that is an adaption of many English kiln recipes used throughout the last 50 years at various maltings from around the UK. We have elegantly named it after the Stour Valley’s most famous artist, John Constable.
We finally tuned our recipe to make the most of our heat exchanger and humidity sensors on the Kiln. Our Constable malt provides a rich biscuit texture and velvety color to the beer, something that is hard to find with modern malted barley. It is this malt that is being used at Beer Nouveau for their Heritage Barrel ageing programme, as part of their revival of old recipes served from the wood.

CM50K - Kiln
The 50kg Brewer’s Kiln offers its users the ability to produce the exciting flavours and aromas of freshly made malt in the comfort of their own Brewhouse. Products can be re–kilned to impart flavour and aroma that is not possible with standard, commercially-produced malt, creating an opportunity to produce unique and outstanding brews. For example, imagine adding the complex sweet caramel aroma and deep colour of crystal malt to your beer or – picking up on the fast-growing ‘heritage’ trend - how about re-creating the Victorian style flavour of a London porter, in your own craft brewery? Each kiln comes with its own booklet of ‘starter’ recipes to assist with your first specialty products.
Constructed to high specification in 304 stainless steel, to match the aesthetics of any modern brewhouse. The integrated user-friendly touchscreen control panel allows for easy recipe formulation, and monitoring as kilning goes on.
Unique features include:
-
Computerised temperature control capable of reaching temperatures up to 150° C, what allows production of speciality malts such as Vienna, Munich and caramalts, including crystal
-
Programmable temperature ramping between setpoints
-
Static malt bed for greater consistency
-
Programmable fan-speed control, allowing airflow to be varied
-
Recirculation valve for changing mixtures of air from new to recirculated
