Briess Caramel Malt 20L 

Briess Caramel Malts are roaster produced compared to some who use Steam or Toasting and Kilning. Roasters rather than kilning produce the fullest flavored and best performing Caramel Malts. Briess roasters are efficient drum roasters that have been custom designed and engineered to roast malt and barley. These customized drum roasters allow fo the application of significantly higher temperatures to green malt. These higher temperatures are a must for the true crystallization of sugars and the development of unique flavors, colors and physical properities only associated with the glassy, crystallized sugars of Caramel Malts.

Caramel Malts are characterized by a glassy endosperm with varying degrees of sweet flavor ranging from light caramel to toffee to even burnt sugar. Typical color ranges of Caramel Malts is 10L to 120L.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of Caramel Malts is their ability to improve foam development and stability and enhance the viscosity due to the non-fermentable structures they contibute to beer.
