- Description
- Briess Carapils is a trademarked dextrin malt. 1-5% adds foam stability, body, and palate fullness to beer and significantly enhances head retention. Although it appears darker than pale malt, it has a clear, glassy endosperm and does not contribute significantly to beer color or flavor.
