Features: Belgian caramel malt. High temperature of germination. Taste development at up to 220°C, intense aroma. Usage: Light, with little or no alcohol, white, Abbey or Trappiste type beers. Recommended proportion: up to 20% of the grist. Characteristics: Caramel malt imparts a rich, caramel-sweet aroma and unique toffee-like flavour, adding golden to light amber colour to beer. A distinguishing characteristic of all Caramel malts is glassiness. This glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components that give true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute mouth feel, foam, foam retention, and extended beer stability.

Green Bullet
Although a new variety in relative terms, Green Bullet delivers a very real, traditional bittering quality and hop flavour. A flagship within the New Zealand brewing industry this hop has contributed to several International Brewing Industry Awards. Considered a bittering variety typically for Lager, Green Bullet also carries a solid Styrian characteristic of subtle spiciness which finds it at home in a freshly drawn pint of Bitter or an Irish-style Dry Stout.—NZ Hops Limited

FermentisT-58Safbrew T-58
FermentisT-58Safbrew T-58
Estery, somewhat spicy ale yeast. Solid yeast formation at end of fermentation. Widely used for bottle and cask conditioning. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C. Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.
Notes
Cara 120 is actually SpecialW. 11lbs includes 1lb pils. Green bullet is galaxy.
