Caramel 700 - 250g Whole

Viking Caramel 700 is a dark caramel malt

Caramel malt / crystal malt is pilsner malt malt that has been moistened and then heated until it browns. It is protein and starch that react with each other in the so-called Maillard reaction. Heating time and temperature determine the degree of caramelization. The lightest ones will have much of the starch available for degradation during mashing. In the darkest ones, more or less all of the starch will be caramelized. To achieve a specific color shade, a larger percentage of a light caramel malt is naturally required compared to a dark caramel malt.

Caramel malt contributes equally to both flavor and color when used. Light to medium-dark malt is used when you want the malt flavor and aroma to be the main focus. Darker malt is used when you want to emphasize the flavors in the base malt. The light caramel malt is probably more forgiving and can be used to a greater extent than the dark one, before the flavor contribution becomes too clumsy and dominant.
