Cara Malt is a very low colour Crystal Malt which has an almost completely glassy endosperm. It contains a greater degree of caramel sweetness than Crystal Malt and the harsher nutty roasted flavours are not present.
It greatly improves body, foam retention and beer stability whilst adding little colour. It has therefore, become very popular in the production of lagers where it is used to assist in enhancing flavour and character. For this reason it has also become a common constituent in brewing low alcohol beers.
