BEST Caramel® Wheat Malt
BEST Caramel® Wheat Malt combines the smoothness of wheat with a subtle caramel flavor. It gives the beer a darker color than conventional wheat malt and enhances its full-bodied taste. The special caramelization process produces a very uniform caramel in the grain. BEST Caramel® Wheat Malt is a rare specialty.
