It has to be a type of sugar.<br /><br />Changing barley varieties, or malting techniques, could have been the reason for adding crystal malt. Or not wanting to use caramel to colour. There are lots of possible reasons. Customers wanting a sweeter beer is another one.<br /><br />Most likely it was the result of a combination of factors. It's one where, for once, government fiddling doesn't seem to have played a part.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-48199148123850002522019-03-01T03:19:51.992-08:002019-03-01T03:19:51.992-08:00DM = Dxxxx maize?

Or = dry malt? but would be weird to use it in quantity.<br /><br />Using crystal in 1928 suggests it's a bit more than just a response to the thinning out during the war, although obviously 1928 wasn't exactly a happy time either. I always wondered if it was in part a response to changing barley varieties, an attempt to hark back to the flavour of beer made with Chevallier when less flavoursome varieties of barley were introduced.<br /><br />Another thought is that it roughly coincides with the Mackeson acquisition, were Mackeson using crystal before they were bought?qqnoreply@blogger.com
