Ingredients (All Grain150 L)

  • 25 kg Pilsner Malt; Ireks

    Pilsner Malt; Ireks

    Basic malt. This light IREKS brewing malt is suitable for the production of light beers and, in addition, forms the basis for most types of beer. It is characterized by a light colour combined with a high enzymology and high extract contents.

  • 1 kg Cara 20 EBC Malt; Castle Malting

    Cara 20 EBC Malt; Castle Malting

    Features: Belgian caramel malt. High temperature of germination. Taste development at up to 220°C, intense aroma. Usage: Light, with little or no alcohol, white, Abbey or Trappiste type beers. Recommended proportion: up to 20% of the grist. Characteristics: Caramel malt imparts a rich, caramel-sweet aroma and unique toffee-like flavour, adding golden to light amber colour to beer. A distinguishing characteristic of all Caramel malts is glassiness. This glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components that give true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute mouth feel, foam, foam retention, and extended beer stability.

  • 0.5 kg Biscuit Malt; Castle Malting

    Biscuit Malt; Castle Malting

    Features: Unique and very special Belgian malt. Lightly kilned, then lightly torrefied up to 160°C. Usage: All special beers and as well for English ales, brown ales and porters. Recommended proportion: up to 15% of the grist. Characteristics: Biscuit malt produces a very pronounced "toasty" finish in the beer. Imparts a warm bread and biscuit like aroma and flavour. Biscuit Malt promotes a light to medium warm brown colour to the mash. This malt is used to improve the roasted flavour and aroma that characterize ales and lagers lending the subtle properties of black and chocolate malts. No enzymes. Must be mashed with malts having a surplus of diastatic power.

  • 0.5 kg Amber Malt; Castle Malting

Characteristics: Amber malt is a more toasted form of pale malt. Gives a strong taste of cooked bread, nuts and fruits.
