What are the key differences between crystal malt and caramel malt in terms of flavor and brewing characteristics?

Crystal malt and caramel malt are both specialty grains used in brewing to add sweetness and color to beer. The key difference between the two lies in the way they are processed. Crystal malt is kilned at a higher temperature, which results in a more intense caramel flavor and a darker color compared to caramel malt. In terms of brewing characteristics, crystal malt tends to contribute more body and mouthfeel to the beer, while caramel malt adds a sweeter and more pronounced caramel flavor. Brewers often use a combination of both malts to achieve a desired flavor profile in their beer.
