Crystal 65; Bairds Malt
Crystal 65; Bairds Malt
Crystal or Caramel malts have a distinctive toffee flavour, which becomes more intense as colour is increased, and at the higher end of the colour range burnt or roasted malt flavours may begin to appear. Traditionally in the UK, Crystal malt of colour 70 -80 °ASBC has been used at about 5% of the grist to give the characteristic colour and flavour of UK Bitters and Pale Ales. Adjustment of the amount and/or colour of the Crystal malt may brew some very distinctive beers, but this may require some careful experimentation. Crystal malts have been used in the brewing of Lager beers, but considerable care is required to ensure that whilst a distinctive flavour is achieved, the crystal flavour and colour does not become too dominant. In all beers they can help prevent the formation of oxidised (cardboard) flavours.

Cara 120 EBC Malt; Castle Malting
Cara 120 EBC Malt; Castle Malting
Features: Belgian caramel malt. High temperature of germination. Taste development at up to 220°C, intense aroma. Usage: Light, with little or no alcohol, white, Abbey or Trappiste type beers. Recommended proportion: up to 20% of the grist. Characteristics: Caramel malt imparts a rich, caramel-sweet aroma and unique toffee-like flavour, adding golden to light amber colour to beer. A distinguishing characteristic of all Caramel malts is glassiness. This glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components that give true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute mouth feel, foam, foam retention, and extended beer stability.

Chocolate Malt; Castle Malting
Chocolate Malt; Castle Malting
Features: Belgian chocolate malt. Torrefied at 220°C and then quickly cooled when the desired colour is reached. Usage: Brown, strong, darker and black beers, such as porters, stouts and brown ales. Recommended proportion: 7%. Characteristics: Chocolate malt is a highly roasted malt with a deep brown colour. This is where its name comes from. Chocolate malt is used to adjust the colour of beer and imparts a nutty, toasted flavour. Chocolate Malt shares many of the characteristics of Black Malt but is less bitter flavour than Black malt and is by 200 EBC lighter than Black, because it is roasted for a slightly shorter period of time and end temperatures are not so high.
