Proximity Crystal 40 is a medium-light crystal malt, adding more pronounced light caramel and toffee sweetness.

Flavor/Aroma

  • Light caramel or toffee

Beer Interplay

  • Brings a soft sweetness that supports malt balance
  • Adds body, but still a lighter roast with a mix of fermentable and unfermentable sugars
  • Imparts a noticeable but not aggressive amber color - "throws an amber hue"

Practical Usage

Crystal 40 is versatile malt for lighter sweetness, but roasted enough to not be easily overpowered by competing ingredients. Will announce its presence in lighter beers. Can be a signature player in ambers, pales, and reds.
