Crystal Malts are made from green malt in a roasting drum. A high degree of caramelization is characteristic of this malt. The amylolytic activity of Crystal Malts is zero. Maillard products formed in the roasting process can act as antioxidants and contribute to flavour stability. Crystal Malts usually improve foam quality and head retention.
Crystal Malts are well suited for winter beers, ale-type beers and other aromatic beers like dark lagers and stouts. Small amounts can be used for colour adjustment and flavour enrichment of pale lagers as well. Compared to Cara Pale, Crystal Malts have a stronger toffee and nutty like character.
