Crisp Extra Light Crystal 100
£2.25Price
Crystal Malts imparts a clean, nutty, caramel-like sweetness to your beers. Extra Light Crystal gives a subtle caramel flavour. Crystal and Cara malts are so named for the caramelisation and crystallisation of the sugars present in the barley kernel.
Crisp take green malt from germination and by applying heat while maintaining the moisture content they are able to liquify the endosperm of the barley, transforming the starch into sugars. Heat is then applied and the caramelisation begins.
In the case of Crystal Malts, when the endosperm cools, sugar crystals are formed. When you cut across the grain the glassy sheen of crystalised sugar can be seen.
