    Golden color and a candy like sweetness. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Brewed on Saturday. OG came in a little low @1.056, but I'm ok with that. Used a starter and fermentation began that afternoon. Right into the Fermentation Chamber @ 68°. Blow off on Tuesday. Still chugging on Friday about every 10-15 seconds. I will let it be until next Friday, Dry Hop an ounce of Cascade for a week, then bottle.

Decided not to dry hop. FG came in @ 1.012 ABV%=5.7% Needs to lager awhile to take the patent bite off, but already... Not bad.
