Simpsons Crystal Medium Malt for Caramel, Toffee, and Body

Simpsons Crystal Medium is a 63-72L crystal malt for brewers who want deeper caramel character, amber-copper color, and more malt structure than a light crystal malt provides. It is a practical choice when the beer needs sweetness, color, body, and a more rounded malt center.

Use it in malt-forward recipes where caramel and toffee should be noticeable but not harsh. It fits English bitter, brown ale, porter, red ale, amber ale, old ale, strong ale, and darker specialty beers where the grain bill needs a middle layer between base malt and roasted malt.

Recipe role

  • Flavor: caramel, toffee, light burnt sugar, and rounded malt sweetness.
  • Color: adds amber to copper depth without moving straight into roast character.
  • Body: contributes fullness and residual malt impression.
  • Best fit: bitter, brown ale, porter, red ale, amber ale, old ale, strong ale, and malt-forward specialty beer.

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.
