Dingemans · Flavour and use
Our Cara 50 MD is a light caramel malt that is produced in the roasting drum. Due to caramelisation and low temperatures during the drying process, this malt gets its very specific flavour. Cara 50 MD malt is used by many Belgian breweries for the production of abbey beers. Cara 50 MD is also known as Cara Vienna. All caramelised malts have a positive effect on foam stability from as little as 5% of the grain bill. This caramelised malt can be used for up to 25% of the grain bill.
