Corn sugar or priming sugar is used to carbonate your beer. Be sure to dissolve in water before bottling to get the best results. A 5 oz portion is ideal for most 5 gallon batches, but it has other purposes as well. You can also use it to boost your ABV without affecting flavor much by adding it to your boil before fermentation.
General Info
Caramel 20L is a light crystal malt made with 6-row barley. It imparts a golden color, candy-like sweetness, and mild caramel flavor. Crystal malts also add body and improve head retention. Usage is progressive, starting light to balance pilsners and reaching the maxiumum 15% to impart color and sweetness to darker ales, stouts, and porters.
Crystal malts are gently cooked during the malting process. Cooking initiates the enzymatic conversion of starches into fermentable sugars, and caramelizes some of the sugars as the malt reaches its final color. This eliminates the need to mash crystal malt, and ensures that some of the sugars will survive fermentation to sweeten the beer. Briess caramel malts are roaster produced to create glassy, crystallized sugars with rich flavor and color.
