Caramel Malts	Lovibond	Flavor	Unique Characteristics/Applications
Caramel 10L *	10	Candylike Sweetness, Mild Caramel	Briess Caramel Malts are produced by roasting, rather than kilning, green malt. Briess roasters are custom designed and engineered to roast malt and barley. This custom engineering allows for significantly higher temperatures (a must for caramelization of sugar), uniform temperature application to all kernels, and precise control of airflow and moisture within the roasting drum. Decades of experimentation and optimization of roasting equipment by Briess results in the production of traditional styles of caramel malt with true caramelization of sguars and the development of unique flavors and aromas that are simply not achievable when using a drying kiln. It also assures uniform and consistent results within each batch and from lot to lot--a mark of quality that Briess customers have come to expect. Refer to Product Information Sheets for more information about Briess Caramel Malts.
