What it does :

Crystal malt 80 L will add a rich color and sweet flavor to your beer. You can use it to make American and English Ales.

What it is:

This is a barley malt that is 80 Lovibond in color. It is produced from green malt with a three-phase process: stewing to convert the starches into sugars, drying the grains, and roasting to achieve the desired color. This process can take three hours per batch at temperatures of 120-280 F (49-138 C), depending on the color and flavor intensity desired. This malt contains no enzymes, and therefore does not require mashing.

Vital Statistics

Dosage:

Crystal malt 80 L can be up to 20 percent of your grist.

Preparation:

Because the sugar conversion is complete, it is ready for you to steep in 150 F (60 C) water for 20-30 minutes before adding to the boiling wort.
