Caramel Malt
Caramel Malt is a type of malted grain used primarily in brewing and baking. It is made by soaking grains, usually barley, in water, allowing them to germinate, and then drying them with hot air. This process enhances the natural sugars in the grain, resulting in a sweet, caramel-like flavor and a rich amber color.
In brewing, Caramel Malt contributes to the body and mouthfeel of the beer, adding sweetness and complexity. It is commonly used in various beer styles, including Amber Ales and Porters, to enhance flavor profiles and improve overall balance.
