Crystal malt in a 500g bag - a handy amount for steeping into a beer kit to add toffee sweetness, colour and body.

Key features

• Toffee and caramel sweetness that strengthens the malt backbone
• Light amber colour and fuller body
• Already saccharified, so it can be steeped without mashing
• Supplied crushed and ready to use

• Colour: 120-140 EBC (maltster spec)

The 500g bag is ideal for trying it in a single batch or for recipes that only need a small amount.

How to use

Mash it with your base malt, or steep it in hot water (65-70°C for 30 minutes) and add the liquid to a kit or extract brew. For a 23 litre kit, 200-400g is a typical steeped addition.

Who it's for

Kit brewers who want to add body and caramel, and all-grain brewers making traditional English bitters and ales.
