Flavour and description
Château Cara Ultra 150 is a new-generation caramel malt designed for breweries and distilleries seeking originality. It is produced through a unique process based on the steam saccharification of green malt in a dedicated chamber, maximizing the formation of simple sugars. These are then polymerized into complex sugars in the roasting drum. This process achieves a very high level of caramelization. Château Cara Ultra 150 delivers deep and intense caramel aromas, while maintaining exceptional smoothness thanks to its lower bitterness and astringency compared to other caramel malts. As a result, it can be used in higher proportions without imparting roasted or coffee-like notes. It also enhances the body of specialty beers and improves foam formation and retention. Ideal for Amber Ales, Brown Ales, Dark Lagers, Bocks, and similar beer styles. Recommended usage: from 1% up to 20%.
