Crystal malts
Our Crystal malts are produced with our special High Performance kiln. After the germination process, enzymes are stimulated to degrade starch and proteins, the result is a liquified endosperm in which the monosaccharides are readily available. Crystal malts are thus characterized by their hard crystallised endosperm, the very sweet character that gives a fuller body to the beer, a friendly aroma and a deeper color.
