The Perfect Sweet Spot
60L is my favorite caramel malt. It's not too light and not too dark. It provides the perfect balance of sweetness and caramel flavor for my Amber Ales. The color comes out just gorgeous.
Never Brew Without It
I add a bit of C60 to almost every recipe. It improves head retention and gives the beer a finished quality that's hard to achieve otherwise. Works great in IPAs to balance the bitterness.
Consistent and Reliable
The quality of this malt is always top-notch. Consistent color, wonderful aroma when crushed. If a recipe calls for Crystal 60, this is the one I always reach for. Recommended.
