Deep Caramel Richness with Fruity Depth and a Ruby Hue

Classic English Crystal Malt Reimagined by French & Jupps

French & Jupps Standard Crystal Malt—formerly known as William Crisp 60L Crystal—delivers a beautiful blend of muscovado sugar, luscious caramel, and deep fruit complexity. It’s kilned to develop intense, sweet flavors that resemble caramelized sugar made on the stovetop, creating a sensory experience of toffee, baked donuts, and dried dark fruits. Expect gentle notes of prunes, dates, raisins, and figs, followed by a subtle backbone of roasted peanuts and fresh coffee on the finish.

This versatile crystal malt contributes a deep reddish hue and works especially well in Bitters, Ruby Ales, Amber Ales, and darker English styles. As a medium crystal malt, it bridges the gap between light and dark crystals, offering structure, color, sweetness, and body without cloying overkill. Its sugar content not only boosts residual sweetness but also supports head retention and mouthfeel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer grain milling services?

Yes, we provide grain milling services free of charge before shipping. To have your grain milled, please select the "Yes, please mill my grain" option on each grain product before adding it to your cart. We use a high-end, 3-roller mill from Spike, set to a standard gap of 4.5, which achieves optimal cracking while minimizing excessive flour. If you prefer a coarser or finer mill, leave a note in the shopping cart, and we’ll adjust it to your preference.

If we notice that most grains were selected for milling but a few were not, we will assume it was an oversight and mill all of them. If your intention is different, please clarify in the shopping cart notes section.

How do you ensure accuracy when weighing grains?

We take great care to ensure that you receive the correct grains in the exact quantities needed for your recipe. Our multi-step process ensures precision, starting with weighing each grain type individually to an accuracy of 0.08 ounces. After that, we perform a final check by weighing the combined total to confirm accuracy. Your total grain weight will always be slightly over the ordered amount, never under, and always within an acceptable range for even the most detail-oriented brewers (like ourselves).

How are grains packaged before shipment?

We provide a convenient recipe-building tool to streamline the process for you, our team, and the environment. We encourage you to use this tool to build your recipes, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve ordered in the correct quantities. By combining all the grains for a single recipe into one bag, we help speed up your brew day, reduce packaging waste, and save time during order fulfillment. Rest assured, we prioritize accuracy when measuring and packing your grains.
