There are very few innovations to surface from the malting industry in recent years, and even less with a focus on expanding the repertoire of creative and niche malts.
How can creative brewers and distillers push new boundaries on recipe development?
It starts with innovations in the raw materials.And with Belgomalt we take malt to a new level.
NEW RANGE
INFUSION MALTS
By infusing seasonal and exotic raw ingredient combinations into the malting process, like spices, herbs, botanicals, fruits and more we create new, aromatic and unique flavour compounds. These flavours are inherently infused into the starchy endosperm matrix of the malt during endosperm modification.
The result? Unparalleled new flavours and aromas that allow brewers and distillers to layer their recipes and create a new range of unique and inspired beverages…
Gingerbread Cookie Infusion Malt
With warming aromas stemming from generous additions of cinnamon and ginger into the malting process, the Gingerbread Cookie infusion malt finds soft balance with further additions of nutmeg, allspice and cloves working in harmony to contribute to a complex medley of depth, cosy spice and festivity.
The Gingerbread Cookie infusion malt is a glorious Winter Wonderland… in malt form!
Sage & Thyme Infusion malt
Our Sage and Thyme infusion malt arouses the senses in unexpected ways. A dankiness from sage which offsets bitter, herbal thyme notes to result in a nuanced and elegant pairing.
A unique addition to your malt bill. Let your creativity shine!

SERIES MALTS
Summer Infusion
Our second creation was made in summer. Inspired by the mediterranean lavender fields and Spanish orange tree yards our Summer infusion malt developed. This malt features delicate floral lavender coupled with refreshing, bright citrus, all harmoniously balanced with classic soft malt notes.

Winter Infusion
For our first creation we added a mix of winter spices into the malting process, the grains were infused with the most flavorful aromas. Think of cozy moments with a hot cup of glühwein, or a freshly baked speculoos.

“Brewing with the creative series winter infusion malt was an absolute pleasure. We could smell the spices right through the bags when they arrived. On brewday our entire brewery smelled like freshly baked cookies and the beer is going to be awesome.
I would happily brew with this malt again.”
Jordan Keeper
Brewer @ Brussels Beer Project
One of my favourite things to do as a creative brewer is to have no boundaries – various additions throughout the brewing process; crazy and unique ingredients working in harmony to create unique complexity. Adopting this approach into the malting process was the logical evolution for me, so the infusion series was created.
