Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • The endosperm is completely glassy and will appear to be darker than standard Brewers Malt. • Carapils® is a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention, and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. • Use to upgrade all types of beer, including light colored beers. • The non-fermentables in Carapils® are very advantageous in balancing body and flavor of dark colored beers. • May be used with or without other specialty malts. • Low usage of 1-5% will help achieve desired results. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Turned out excellent! Will make again for sure. OG was 1.062, FG 1.018 for 6.02% ABV. May tone down the bittering addition to 1.0 OZ instead of 1.2 due to my wife thinking it had a bit of a bite but all in all an outstanding homebrew. Color was spot on and very clear with no chill haze. Also referring to the bittering addition comment I did a 5 gallon batch instead of 3 gallon with increased the 60 min addition to 1.2 OZ.
