This month, we’re celebrating one of our extra special malts and grains, Red Rye Crystal malt. Known for its deep ruby red colour, and for creating depth of flavour, it’s a beauty of a malt!
Crystal Malts are speciality grains – they add a particular taste and flavour to beers. We take premium malts which are then roasted and cooled. This process produces hardened crystal-like sugars that give that familiar sugary texture and taste.
Here’s everything you need to know about our fantastic Red Rye Crystal malt – are you red-y?
Taste & flavour
Red Rye Crystal malt adds an interesting sweet bread flavour to many beers. It produces a nutty flavour when used at higher volumes.
Usage
Best in Red Beers and Rye Beers, Red Rye Crystal malt works well used up to 10%.
Customers
Red Rye Crystal malt counts Adnams amongst its fans. Head Brewer, Fergus Fitzgerald, told us: “I love Red Rye Crystal. At low amounts, it adds subtle bready notes and at higher amounts, we get a great nutty flavour as well as a fantastic warm red colour.”
