Description

A distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malts is their ability to improve foam development and stability and enhance viscosity due to non-fermentable structures they contribute to beer.

• 1 lb bag, uncrushed
• Lovibond 120L
• Produced in the U.S.A.

Briess Caramel Malts are roaster produced. Roasters, rather than kilns, make the fullest flavored and best performing Caramel Malts. Briess roasters are efficient drum roasters that have been custom designed and engineered to roast malt and barley. These customized drum roasters allow for the application of significantly higher temperatures to green malt. This is a must for the true crystallization of sugars and development of unique flavors, colors and physical properties only associated with the glassy, crystallized sugars of Caramel Malt.

USAGE:  Use 3-15% for enhanced body and foam stability with a subtle color and flavor contribution.

 3-7% For balance in Pilsners
 5-10% California Common Beer, Doppelbocks and Dark Lagers
 5-15% Vienna, Marzen and Oktoberfest
 10-15% Bitter Ales, Pale Ales, Mild Ales, Strong Ales and Belgian Ales
 5-15% Certain styles of Brown Ales, Scotch Ales, Stouts and Porters
