2-Row Caramel Malt 10L; Briess
Golden color and a candy like sweetness. 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. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

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.

Notes
Clone based on West Coaster "Behind the Brew" - Ballast Point Sculpin IPA but adding grapefruit juice. There is mash hopping, A low step mash temperature (146-150F/63-66 C) to produce more sugar and better attenuation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_11Yn7V9UM Split 1 oz each of Columbus cascade and chinook into 4 groups .25 oz each hop. 1/4 Mash hopped, 1/4 bittering hop 60 minutes and 1/4 30 minutes and 1/4 in whirlpool. Aroma hops are added to whirlpool. My deviation from the recipe is adding Citra hop which is a personal favorite of mine. 1 oz of each in whirlpool and dry hop. http://www.ballastpoint.com/beer/grapefruit-sculpin/ Also referenced http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2013/06/grapefruit-american-pale-ale-recipe.html OG Before Adding Juice 1.062, after 1.055
