Frequently Asked Questions
Is it crushed?

Yes, it comes crushed and ready to use, so you do not need a grain mill.

Do I need to mash caramalt?

No. Like other crystal malts it can be steeped in hot water and the liquid added to a kit or extract brew, or mashed in an all-grain recipe.

Which size should I buy?

2.5kg suits regular brewing. For a one-off batch the smaller bags are enough.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from damp and pests. Crushed malt is best used fresh, so buy the size you will use reasonably soon.
