Crystal Malt is a type of malted barley that has been kilned at a higher temperature, which caramelizes the sugars within the grain. This process enhances the malt's sweetness and imparts a rich, amber color to the beer. It is commonly used in brewing to add depth and complexity to the flavor profile. Brewers often use Crystal Malt in various beer styles, including pale ales, IPAs, and stouts. The malt contributes notes of caramel, toffee, and sometimes a hint of nuttiness, making it a popular choice for those looking to create a balanced and flavorful brew.
