Cara-Pils
A similar product to crystal, Cara-Pils has a lower colour, around 30� EBC units and a
less pronounced caramel flavour.
The production process resembles that given above for crystal malt, but lower
temperatures are used for a longer time in the final roast. Unlike Crystal the
endosperm does not liquefy but remains "floury". Consequently it is used where
sweetness is less important but some colour enhancement and a "dry" flavour is
required, usually in lagers.
Enzymatic activity is absent from both Crystal and Cara-Pils in their finished forms.
