This 500g bag of Pale Caramalt is a good way to try a light caramel malt in a single brew. From Thomas Fawcett, it is lightly roasted for a pale golden colour with a very sweet, almost honey-like flavour.

What it adds

  • 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.

Is 500g enough for one batch?

For most 23 litre recipes using pale caramalt at the lower end of 5-20% of the grain bill, yes.
