Crystal Malt 10°L
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.

Beer is now in secondary fermenter, where it shall stay for a minimum of 6 months. OG was 1.052, slightly higher than the predicted OG. Transfer gravity was 1.013. Will update upon bottling.
Very good beer!

O.G.: 1.052 F.G.: 1.006 ABV: 6.13% Bottling Date: 11/13/06 Beer sat in Secondary on the Peach puree for 471 days. Turned out very nice, although nowhere near as sweet as a Lindemann's, and much more sour. Wonderful aroma, with just a hint of peach there, and in the flavor. Much more of a straight Lambic, than a Peche. If you weren't told it was a Peche, you wouldn't know it. Intend to let this age a bit longer in the bottles, then enter it next year in a few competitions. Everyone who has tried it thus far has loved it! Will definitely be brewing this one again.
More Peach

Would you add more peach to the recipe to gain more sweetness/likeness to Lindemann's? It sounds great. Be a nice on to do in the winter to anticipate the next spring!
