Briess Caramel Malt 20L

Description

Briess Caramel 20L is a light crystal malt made with 6-row barley. It imparts a golden color, candy-like sweetness, and mild caramel flavor. Crystal malts also add body and improve head retention. Usage is progressive, starting light to balance pilsners and reaching the maxiumum 15% to impart color and sweetness to darker ales, stouts, and porters.
Crystal malts are gently cooked during the malting process. Cooking initiates the enzymatic conversion of starches into fermentable sugars, and caramelizes some of the sugars as the malt reaches its final color. This eliminates the need to mash crystal malt, and ensures that some of the sugars will survive fermentation to sweeten the beer. Briess caramel malts are roaster produced to create glassy, crystallized sugars with rich flavor and color.
Grains are unmilled, if you would like the grains milled immediately before shipping please let us know! Milled grains work best in a mash!
Please Note: If you would like milled grains please indicate at the time of purchase, once we have printed your shipping label your items are immediately packaged for shipment and we will no longer be able to mill your grains.
Grains milled for brewing or distilling are run through a mill just enough to break the kernel into enough pieces to extract all the sugar, it is NOT milled into a flour.
