2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess
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.

Very nice all around ale

Not too sweet, not too hoppy, crisp dry finish. Excellent with pub food. Even my friends who don't like dark beers like this one. Should age at least a month and gets even better at 8 weeks.
Nuts in yo mash

Hey big-b, This is an interesting recipe, I love nut brown ales and have thought of trying nuts in the mash or boil before, but I've always heard that the oils will kill your head retention. So I have to ask if this 3-step roast on the pecans is designed to help with that or just for a more pronounced flavor?
