Crystal 75; Bairds Malt
Crystal 75; Bairds Malt
Crystal or Caramel malts have a distinctive toffee flavour, which becomes more intense as colour is increased, and at the higher end of the colour range burnt or roasted malt flavours may begin to appear. Traditionally in the UK, Crystal malt of colour 70 -80 °ASBC has been used at about 5% of the grist to give the characteristic colour and flavour of UK Bitters and Pale Ales. Adjustment of the amount and/or colour of the Crystal malt may brew some very distinctive beers, but this may require some careful experimentation. Crystal malts have been used in the brewing of Lager beers, but considerable care is required to ensure that whilst a distinctive flavour is achieved, the crystal flavour and colour does not become too dominant. In all beers they can help prevent the formation of oxidised (cardboard) flavours.

Brew in a bag for the grains. Added the grains to the boil kettle with 5 gal of 125 degree water. Let the mash rest at 131 for 30 mins. Raised heat to 150 and held for 10 min. Then raised the temp to 158 for a final 15 min. OG of grain only wort: 1.006, lame. Raised heat to 180 and threw in the 3lbs of dry wheat malt extract, then the 1lb of corn sugar. At rolling boil 60 min timer started and 1 oz of Chinook Hops added. At 30 min left in the boil the 7lbs of Amber/Light LME was added after being diluted with hot wort from the kettle. At 15 min mark 1 oz of Northern Brewer hops were added At the 1 min mark the last ounce of Northern Brewer was added. Final Wort OG: 1.088 FG: 1.020 TG: 1.007 ABV: 10.6% Brew Date: 12/29/12 Secondary: 1/13/13 Oak cubes soaking in Makers Mark: 12/30/12 Oak in secondary: 12/13/13 Dry Hop: 12/23/13 with 1oz Willamette & 1 oz Centennial Whole Leaf Hops Dry Hopped March 14, 2nd time with 1oz Willamette & 1 oz Centennial Whole Leaf Hops Bottling: 6/6/14 Note (both hops types were purchased at Uptown Market PDX and they were pale, old and had very little aroma. Worried about final product, but I'm used to big IPA's with bold citrus/pine profiles.)

Have you tasted this yet? How long did you soak the oak for and how long in primary and secondary?

This batch is still in the secondary, but has been racked off most of the fallen yeast. The oak cubes have been soaking in Makers since February, but have not been added to the carboy yet. The cubes have absorbed almost a full pint of whisky! Even before adding any oak, this beer has a very full and big taste of scotch without the alcohol nose or heat, mixed with a light stout malt, minus the burnt bitterness of dark stouts. Expecting to bottle soon after oaking for 1-2 weeks and then a short dry hopping session with Tettnanger Hops.
