Our Thomas Fawcett's Crushed Crystal Malt range is one of the most complete selections available to UK home brewers. Crystal malts are kilned in a way that creates fermentable and unfermentable sugars directly within the grain, adding sweetness, body, colour, and complex caramel, toffee and fruit flavours to your beer — with no mashing required.
Available in five varieties to suit any beer style:
- Pale Caramalt — Very light, adds gentle sweetness and improved head retention. Ideal for golden ales and light bitters.
- Caramalt — Mild caramel character, versatile and widely used across all ale styles.
- Pale Crystal Malt — Honey and light toffee notes, adds warmth and mid-range colour.
- Crystal Malt — Classic rich toffee and caramel. The staple crystal malt for British ales and bitters.
- Dark Crystal Malt — Deep dried fruit, dark caramel, and plum notes. Essential for red ales, porters and stouts.
Available in 500g and larger sizes. Pairs perfectly with our hop range — try Target or Willamette for a classic bitter, or Bullion with dark crystal for a rich porter. Ferment with Gervin GV12 Ale Yeast and use Protafloc Tablets for a clear, bright finish.
