Dark Crystal Malt

Fermentable Profile based on 22 recipes

Dark Crystal provides deep, nutty, bittersweet caramel flavours, body, and complex, nuanced, dried fruit aromas. In general, Crystal malts can be used in varying amounts and intensities to an array of beer styles to add sweetness, mouthfeel, colour, flavour, and aroma to a beer. All Crystal malts are made in a specialised roasting drum. The green malt used is made from the fattest low nitrogen 2 row barley available. The emphases are on sweetness and evenness of crystallisation. This is achieved by using only the best barley and batch malting small amounts of green malt at a time to feed the roaster. It is important to use crystal malts fresh to get the best results.
