Crisp Extra Light Crystal 100 Malt 25 kgExtra Light Crystal is also known as Crystal 100. Extra Light Crystal gives a subtle caramel flavour.Crystal and Cara Malts are so named for the caramelisation and crystallization of the sugars present in the barley kernel. Crisp takes 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 crystalized sugar can be seen.Each Crystal Malt imparts a clean, nutty, caramel-like sweetness to your beers.Tasting notesStrong caramel aromas;Delicate fresh fruit undertones.Points of attentionRemember that Crystal Malts have no enzymes or FAN preserved so be careful with the addition rate in your mash. You want to add enough to get the depth of flavour desired, but not so much that you will have issues in fermentation due to a lack of nutrients.Watch the video below to learn more about the flavour and aroma profile, and usage suggestions for Crisp Extra Light Crystal 100 Malt.
