Weyermann CaraRed Malt 40-60 EBC

Weyermann CaraRed Malt 40-60 EBC is soft caramel with a distinct red hue — the malt that puts the red in red ale. Malted in Bamberg by Weyermann, the benchmark German maltster, and the right choice for Irish red, red IPA, Scottish ales and Bère de Garde.

Use it at 5-15% of the grain bill. It is pre-converted in the kilning, so all-grain brewers mash it with the base malt and extract brewers simply steep it in a grain bag. Order it whole, or choose Crushed and we mill it fresh at 1 mm right before shipping.
