Lovibond
Lovibond refers to a scale used to measure the color of malt, wort, and beer. It's a visual method, comparing a sample to a series of colored glass discs or color charts. The scale is still widely used, especially for describing the color of malts, and is closely related to the Standard Reference Method (SRM) for measuring beer color. 
Scale from 10°-120°

Flavor Notes

Carahell contributes smooth, malty sweetness with fine caramel notes and no harsh edges. The flavor is clean and refined — classic caramel character without cloying residual sugar.

Mouthfeel Impact

Almost complete caramelization produces unfermentable dextrins that add body and improve mouthfeel. Head retention and foam stability are noticeably enhanced even at typical usage rates of 10–15%.

Brewing Performance

  • Light gold to pale amber color (8–12°L)
  • Fine caramel sweetness without harshness
  • Improves foam stability and head retention
  • Enhances malt complexity and body
  • Nearly complete caramelization for consistent results
  • Effective from 10% up to 30% in specialty recipes

Carahell's gentle sweetness and functional foam contributions make it one of the most practical caramel malts for light and moderate-colored styles.

Best Used In:

  • Munich Helles / Pale Lager
  • Cream Ale
  • Blonde Ale
  • Kölsch
  • Session IPA
  • American Pale Ale
  • Hefeweizen / Wheat Beer
  • Belgian Blonde / Golden Ale

Carahell adds light caramel sweetness and improved foam to lager-inspired styles and light ales where subtle malt complexity and body are desirable without darkening the color. Its versatility makes it one of the most broadly useful caramel malts available.

In All-Grain Brewing

Use 10–15% of the grain bill for smooth caramel sweetness and foam improvement. Push to 30% in specialty recipes for a more pronounced caramel profile. Mash at standard saccharification temperatures (148–156°F).

In Partial Mash Brewing

Include Carahell in the mash portion at 10–15% to extract caramel character, improved body, and foam stability.

In Extract Brewing

Steep at 150–170°F for 20–30 minutes prior to the boil to extract caramel sweetness and mouthfeel benefits.

Pairing Suggestions

Pairs well with:

  • Pilsner or 2-Row base malt
  • Noble hops (Hallertau, Saaz)
  • German lager or hefeweizen yeast
  • Wheat malt for hybrid styles
  • Carapils for additional foam support

10–15% is the typical range for most styles. Specialty recipes can go up to 30% for a more pronounced caramel character.

Yes. Carahell is a caramel malt but benefits from inclusion in the mash for full extraction. It can also be steeped in extract brewing.

At 8–12°L it adds light gold to pale amber color — noticeable but not dramatic. It's a great choice when you want color enhancement without going amber.

Carahell improves foam stability and head retention thanks to its caramelized proteins and dextrins.
