Cara Malt

A very popular malt used in the brewing of distinctive lagers, beers lower in alcohol and light refreshing ales.

Cara Malt Overview

Cara Malt, a classic low-colour Crystal Malt, offers an exceptional depth of sweetness. Its wonderful, intense caramel tones are beautifully complemented by hints of muscovado sugar, roasted coffee, and a touch of dark chocolate. Hazelnut adds complexity, while underlying notes of fresh rye bread provide an assertive foundation. This blend culminates in a delightful finish, reminiscent of dates, raisins, prunes, and dried figs.

Highly favoured by brewers, Cara Malt is ideal for crafting distinctive Lagers, lower-alcohol beers, and light, refreshing Ales.

Max Moisture	7.5%
Min Extract (Dry Basis)	265 ^°L/kg
Colour	20-35 ^°EBC
