Bestmalz Caramel Amber Malt 61-80 EBC

Bestmalz Caramel Amber Malt 61-80 EBC is rich date-and-biscuit caramel — the German amber crystal for depth without sweetness overload. Malted by Bestmalz in Heidelberg, Germany, and the right choice for amber ale, Altbier, red and dark ales at 5–15%.

Use it at 5-15% of the grain bill. All-grain brewers mash it with the base malt; extract brewers steep it in a grain bag. Order it whole, or choose Crushed and we mill it fresh at 1 mm right before shipping.
