Red Crystal malt is a caramel malt (around 40-60°L) that brings sweet caramel and toffee, light nutty and biscuit notes, and a distinctive reddish-amber hue. Low in diastatic power, it's used with a base malt for colour and flavour rather than conversion.
- Flavour: caramel, toffee, light nuttiness
- Colour: reddish to amber (approx. 40-60°L)
- Typical use: 5-20% of the grain bill
- Great in: red ales, amber ales and brown ales
This 500g bag is ideal for trying it in a single batch.
