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.

Low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas. Neutral for Ale yeast, allowing for malty profile.
Notes
Simplified version of fellow QUAFF members Alesmith Nautical Nut Brown clone. His version used 10 malts, I am limited to 5. He used White Labs WLP002, I am using a similar dried yeat strain.

Shared at both SBE and QUAFF meetings, and was well recieved. Thanks to Bob MacKay for the Alesmith Nautical Nut Brown clone recipe that was the inspiration for this beer.
