Briess Crystal Red 148°L

USAGE RATE:  Up to 15%

Briess Crystal Red Malt is a unique drum-roasted, crystallized malt known for its powerful coloring properties and distinct flavor profile. It's an excellent way to achieve a range of hues, from subtle gold to deep red and brown, depending on the amount used. This specialty malt delivers a complex mix of caramel, burnt sugar, raisiny, and prune notes. Its flavor contribution intensifies as you increase the percentage in your grain bill.

Usage & Style Guide:

• <1%: For a touch of golden color in light beers, such as Pale Ales and Lagers, without affecting the flavor or fermentability.

• 1-3%: Adds rich orange hues and a hint of caramel to Amber Ales and Lagers.

• 3-7%: Creates a vibrant red color and mild flavors of caramel and toffee, ideal for English Reds and Scotch Ales.

• 7-10%: Delivers deep red to cola-like colors and complex sugar notes, perfect for Dark Ales and Lagers.

• 10-15%: Provides intense color and robust, full-bodied flavor for strong, dark beers like Barley Wines and some Stouts.
