Crystal Malt 10°L
Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales. Characteristics & Applications: • In contract 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.

White Labs WLP090 San Diego Super
White Labs WLP090 San Diego Super
A super clean, super-fast fermenting strain. A low ester-producing strain that results in a balanced, neutral flavor and aroma profile. Alcohol-tolerant and very versatile for a wide variety of styles. Similar to California Ale Yeast WLP001 but it generally ferments faster.
Notes
Mash at 150 for 60 min. Conversion complete. Chilled with pre-chiller to my plate chiller. Worked nicely. Boiling wort in, 80 F out. My tap water was nearly 80 prior to pre-chiller. Placed my 15 gal Speidel plastic fermenter in the locker and chilled to 68F. Pitched a 2L starter made withe WLP 90 San Diego Super Yeast. Oxygenated with O2 for 7 min. Primary for 14 days, racked to glass car boys and dry hopped. Secondary x 14 days, racked to 2 cornys on 07 NOV 2015. Force carbonated one keg. Rye comes through, oats smooth things out a bit, nice hop nose, no off flavors, a bit of alcohol burn. Overall, I believe this is a nice example of all the things I enjoy in American IPAs.
