2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess
Sweet, Pronounced Caramel. 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. • 2-Row Caramel Malt 60L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts deep golden to red color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to amber and red beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

White Labs WLP001 California Ale
White Labs WLP001 California Ale
This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance and ability to be used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely versatile.
Notes
Mash at 152 for 60-90 minutes with 14 quarts of intial mash water. Sparge with 180 degree water until you reach 7 gallons pre-boil volume in the kettle. Boil for 75 minutes. Put Cascades in at 200 degrees after boil for about 30 minutes and then begin cooldown for fermentation. I've calculated this as a boil time of 10 minutes to account for hop utilization. This mimics the whirlpool post boil used by SN and other commercial brewers.
