Crystal Malts and Crystal Red
Our Crystal malts are produced with our special High Performance kiln. After the germination process, enzymes are stimulated to degrade starch and proteins, the result is a liquified endosperm in which the monosaccharides are readily available. Crystal malts are thus characterized by their hard crystallised endosperm, the very sweet character that gives a fuller body to the beer, a friendly aroma and a deeper color.
