Malt Sugar - Scientifically, Malt Sugar, aka Maltose, is two glucose molecules joined together, making it a "dissacharide." The formula is C12H22O11·H2O. More prosaically, it is a sugar made from grains by malting them. The grains might include barley, rice or wheat. It can come as a thick, sticky clear or amber-coloured syrup sold in tins or tubs, or as a white or off-white crystalline powder with no odour to it. It is used by brewers in making beer. In brewing, only about 60 percent of it will ferment. It will caramelize at about 350 F (180 C.)
