Crisp Cara Malt (EBC 23-32)
Cara Malt is a very low colour Crystal Malt which has an almost completely
glassy endosperm. It contains a greater degree of sweetness and stronger
caramel flavour than Crystal Malt and the harsher nutty roasted flavours are
not present. It greatly improves body, foam retention and beer stability whilst
adding little colour. It has therefore, become very popular in the production of
lagers where it is used to assist in enhancing flavour and character. It has also
become a common constituent for this reason, in low alcohol lagers.
Used to adjust colour and flavour of light coloured beers
TASTING NOTES: SWEET CARAMEL, MALTY
BEER STYLES: All beer styles (foam, mouthfeel)
USAGE RATE: Up to 15%
SHELF LIFE: 1 year as whole malt in dry & pest free conditions
