Caramel & Crystal Malts
Crystal malts are steepable and they're generally used to add sweetness and color to both extract and all-grain brews. As a general rule, the lighter-colored crystal malts are more strictly 'sweet', while darker crystal malts can add some roastiness or nuttiness in addition to sweetness.
