Crystal Malt 10°L
Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales. Characteristics & Applications: • In contract to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Put malts into a boiling bag and place into 2.5 gallons of cold water. Bring water to a boil. Add DME, sugars and boiling hops to water. Boil 60 min, adding irish moss last 15 min. and adding finishing hops the last 5 min. Remove from stove and cool 15 min. Funnel into primary fermenter, adding cool water to make 5 gallons. Cool wort to 80*F, pitch yeast. Ferment 5-7 days. Siphon to secondary fermenter to clear, 5-7 days more. Siphon to priming bucket, prime with 1/2 cup corn sugar and 1/2 honey and bottle.
