To make Light Crystal we increase the temperature further and the endosperm darkens and flavours develop further. Think of Crystal Malts like you would make caramel at home. With Light Crystal the crystalised sugars present imparts an intense caramel flavour. Light Crystal will also impart a reddish hue to the beer and it works very well in Bitters and Ruby beers.
The number after the word Crystal refers to the EBC colour of the malt if you mashed at 100% of the grain bill. To get a rough conversion to Lovibond, just divide by two.
| Parameter | IoB | EBC | ASBC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture | 5.0% max | 5.0% max | 5.0% max |
| Extract | 271 L°/kg | 72.0% | 72.0% |
| Colour | 145-165 EBC | 160-180 EBC | 60.8-68.4 °L |
