Crisp Extra Light Crystal Malt (Crystal 100)

Product detailed description

Crystal and Cara Malts are named for the caramelization and crystallization of sugars present in the barley kernels. Green malt is taken from germination, and then heat is applied while maintaining moisture content, leading to the liquefaction of the barley endosperm and the conversion of starches into sugars. Heat is then applied, and caramelization begins. In the case of Crystal Malts, when the endosperm cools, sugar crystals are subsequently formed. When you cut the grain, you can see the glossy shine of the crystalline sugar. Each Crystal Malt will add a clean, nutty sweetness to your beers, reminiscent of caramel. Extra Light Crystal provides a delicate caramel flavor.
