2 Row Caramel 10L Malt is gently cooked during the malting process. Why? Cooking kicks off the enzymatic conversion of starches into fermentable sugars and ensures some of the sugar will survive the yeast making for a sweeter finished beer. Imparting a candy like sweetness, mild caramel tones and a golden color while improving mouth feel and retention, use this in balanced Pislner, Dark Ales, Porters or Stouts.
