IREKS Crystal Birch 5L

IREKS Crystal Birch 5L is an extra-light crystal malt that adds subtle malt sweetness, soft body, and improved foam stability while keeping color contribution very low. It is useful when brewers want a little more roundness and structure without adding noticeable dark caramel flavor or changing the overall color of the beer too much.

Use it in pilsners, pale lagers, Kölsch, blonde ales, cream ales, wheat beers, and lighter pale ales where a touch of sweetness and improved mouthfeel can help balance the beer. Crystal Birch is a good choice when you want the benefits of crystal malt in a cleaner, lighter, more delicate form.
