Buying Pale Caramalt in a 2.5kg bag makes sense if it goes into most of your pale beers. This Thomas Fawcett malt gives a honey-like sweetness and extra body with only a pale golden colour.

Why brewers use it

  • A very sweet, almost honey-like caramel flavour
  • Pale golden colour, so it barely darkens the beer
  • Extra body and head retention
  • Low roast character - it rounds out the malt rather than dominating it

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pale caramalt and caramalt?

Pale caramalt is lighter in colour (12-20 EBC from Thomas Fawcett) with a honey-like sweetness, so it suits paler beers than standard caramalt.

Can I use pale caramalt as a base malt?

No. It is a caramel malt for body and sweetness, so use it with a base malt such as Maris Otter or lager malt.

Can extract brewers use it?

Yes. Like other crystal-type malts it can be steeped in hot water and the liquid added to your extract boil.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place. Crushed malt is best used reasonably soon after opening.
