Crystal Red® Malt (150 L) - Per Pound

Crystal Red® Malt (150 L) - Per Pound

Crystal Red® is an innovative, new roaster-produced crystal malt. A product from years of effort, this specially produced crystal malt has been made to be the most intense source of red color available on the market. With an average color of 200 SRM, this malt is almost twice as intense as its nearest offering from Briess – our Caramel 120L. It’s so effective as a coloring malt, that we’ve deviated from our normal caramel malt nomenclature and named it after its purpose: Crystal Red®. 

Crystal Red® can be used to make extremely red beers or to simply bump the color of lighter-colored beers like IPAs or Pale Ales to a bit more golden with minimal flavor impact. When trying to formulate low-alcohol or no-alcohol beers, it’s great at providing expected color with limited addition to total extract. Additionally, at higher levels, Crystal Red® can be used to provide complex dark sugar flavor notes to various darker styles, such as Stouts and Belgian Ales.
