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.

1-8-04 Stopped sparge prematurely, the specific gravity of the final runnings was 1.022. This will probably explain the low mash efficiency of 70%. The sparge time was 95 min. (clock started when the vorlauf was complete.) Volume at beginning of boil: 7.25 gal (est.) Volume at end of boil: 5 gal (measured) Volume into fermenter: 4.5 gal The aroma hops were steeped in the kettle for 30 min at the end of the boil. Humidity: 66% Evaporation rate: 20.69% per hour Starting gravity: 1.068
