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.
- 1 lbs
Honey Malt

White Wheat Malt; Briess
White Wheat Malt; Briess
Sweet, malty, wheat, floury flavors. Characteristics & Applications: • Imparts malty flavor not obtainable from raw wheat. • Use with rice hulls to improve lautering and help prevent stuck mash. • White Wheat Malt contributes to foam production and foam stability.
- 3 lbs
Yellow Corn (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Yellow Corn (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes can be used as a cereal adjunct. The flakes can be added to the mash without first using a cereal cooker. The pregelatinized flakes will give a higher yield and a more trouble-free brew than a conventional flaked corn. Also, the corn has been degermed (the oil removed), thus eliminating rancidity. • Using Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes as an adjunct produces a lower color in the finished beer without lowering the original gravity. • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes produce a beer with a mild, less malty flavor • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes produce a drier, more crisp beer. • Use up to 40% as a cereal adjunct in the total grist • Add directly to the mash with the malts. Do not mill. A single or multiple temperature infusion can be used. Conversion time and lautering time will be normal.
- 1 lbs
Rice (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Rice (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Rice Flakes have been produced specifically for brewing, developing characteristics necessary for easy and efficient use in a brewhouse. The process of gelatinizing makes the starches readily soluble and digestible by the naturally occurring enzymes in barley malt. This allows the flakes to be incorporated directly into the mash with other grains. • Because flakes have a large surface area and are pre-cooked, they hydrate and disintegrate quickly. Filtration time will be normal. • There is no need to mill Rice Flakes. However, they can be put through the mill if that is the easiest means of adding them to the mash. • Pregelatinized Rice Flakes are made from medium-grain rice and produce a light, clean and crisp characteristic to the finished beer. • Use a slightly lower conversion temperature and extend the conversion time 15 minutes to obtain maximum efficiency. • Use up to 40% as a cereal adjunct in the total grist.

Rice Hulls are used as a filter medium, mostly used in all grain wheat beers to help prevent a stuck mash.

Citra®
Citra™ is a special aroma hop variety developed by the Hop Breeding Company (a joint venture between John I. Haas, Inc. and Select Botanicals Group, LLC). It was released in 2007. Citra™ has fairly high alpha acids and total oil contents with a low percentage of cohumulone content. The variety imparts interesting citrus and tropical fruit characters to beer.

White Labs WLP080 Cream Ale Yeast Blend
This is a blend of ale and lager yeast strains. The strains work together to create a clean, crisp, light American lager style ale. A pleasing estery aroma may be perceived from the ale yeast contribution. Hop flavors and bitterness are slightly subdued. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation, from the lager yeast.
