Characteristics
Cara Gold® malt imparts a strong, sweet caramel aroma and unique toffee-esque and brown sugar flavour, while adding a rich amber colour to beer.
A distinguishing characteristic of all caramel malts is glassiness. This glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components that give true caramel malt the ability to contribute mouthfeel, head, head retention and extended beer stability. Contains gluten.
Usage
Brown and dark beers. Up to 20% of the mix.
Storage
Malt should be stored in a clean, cool (< 22°C) and dry (< 35% RH) area.
