Caramalt

Caramalts are used in dark lagers, Vienna , Amber and Red ales. Caramalt is produced by stewing green malt at around 75 degrees to encourage the breakdown of starch and protein to sugar and amino acids. Once most of this conversion has occurred the grain is heated to 110-130 degrees, until the desired colour has been achieved. The final malt has a glazed appearance and gives pronounced sweet biscuit flavours. Caramalt contributes body and a slight red hue to the finished beer. It also enhances foam and flavour stability.

Caramalt 15

Caramalts are used to give colour and flavour to pale Lager beers but should be used with care to avoid making the beer too dark or giving it too cloying a flavour. They also change the oxidation - reduction state of a beer, and can therefore improve the stability of a beer by preventing the formation of oxidised (cardboard) flavours.
