Caramalt (Crisp Maltings)

Crisp Caramalt - Sweet Touch to Your Brew

Caramalt, also known as Cara Malt, is a variety of crystal malt used in the brewing of beer, cherished for its distinct sweetness and minimal colour influence. With flavours of sweet caramel, mild toffee, and malty notes, caramalt can be used in various styles of beers to enhance colour, mouthfeel, and sweetness.


Flavour & Aroma: English Caramalt boasts a sweetness greater than other Crystal Malts, without harsh nutty or roasted flavours. Expect sweet caramel, mild toffee, and a malty backbone.

Colour: With an EBC range of 25.0 - 42.0, Cara malt provides colour enhancement without dominating the beer's appearance.

Beer Styles: Ideal for Lagers, Extra Pale Ales, Golden Ales, Brown Ales, Wheat Beer & Bock, and Low Alcohol beers.

Improved Characteristics: Popular for production of lagers, Caramalt improves body, foam retention, and stability, with little colour impact. It's widely used to boost flavour and character without altering colour significantly.

Low Alcohol Compatibility: A common constituent in low-alcohol beers, it brings body and sweetness without heavy colouring.
