Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess
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.

Pronounced Caramel, Slight Burnt Sugar, Raisiny, Prune. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt.

This came out pretty nice....has a very nice nose with a great basil smell, which then translates into a spiciness, different from what you would expect from the basil. It fermented out a bit more than I wanted and I lost the residual sweetness I was looking for from the honey, but that can easily be fixed next time by cold crashing it at the right time, which I would say would be about 1.016 ( it finished about 1.010) Overall a beer worth doing again!!

I'm getting pretty good reviews on this from friends......it's getting better with age.....I dont think I want to make a full batch of this though, it's nice to have for something different but I dont want to drink a bunch of them at once.....I will probably keep it to small batches.
