BEST Caramel® Rye Malt

BEST Caramel® Rye Malt gives the beer a velvety soft mouthfeel and a special complexity. The aromas are reminiscent of caramelized bread crumbs. Due to the lack of husks and the high proportion of mucilage (pentosans), using more than 50% in the grain bill is not recommended, otherwise lautering problems may occur. BEST Caramel® Rye Malt is a rare specialty.
