Product Details

Taste & Character

Great Western Crystal 15L Malt is a lightly roasted specialty malt that delivers subtle caramel sweetness, balanced by delicate toffee and honey notes. With a color of 15 Lovibond, it contributes a golden amber hue while enhancing both flavor and body in finished beers.

Where It Shines

This malt shines in styles like Pale Ales, IPAs, and Amber Ales, where its light caramel profile complements hop bitterness and provides balance. It can also be used in lighter lagers and hybrid styles for a touch of color and sweetness without overpowering the base malt.

Role in the Brewhouse

As a crystal malt, Great Western Crystal 15L contributes non-fermentable sugars that enhance body, mouthfeel, and foam stability. It provides gentle caramel complexity without overshadowing other malt or hop characteristics, making it an effective tool for nuanced recipe design.

Brewer’s Guidance

Add Crystal 15L at 5–15% of the grist for balanced sweetness and golden color, or in smaller percentages to round out flavor in lighter recipes. It pairs especially well with citrus-forward hops in Pale Ales and IPAs, enhancing drinkability and complexity.

Quick Description

A light crystal malt (15 °L) with caramel, toffee, and honey notes. Perfect for Pale Ales, IPAs, and Amber Ales, it adds body, sweetness, and a golden amber hue while balancing hop character.
