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.

Conducted a double mash - 153 degrees 1st mash 90 min; 2nd mash 30 min Lowered the bittering hops to be more compliant and replaced Tet with Hallertau for aroma hops due to availability. Sparged second mash with one gallon. OG: 46 Fermenting at 50 degrees Will post updates, note: this is my first true lagar

The beer was transfered to a secondary 3 Dec with a gravity of 7. Dropped the temp to 40 degrees. 26 Dec Bottling day. Of course I sampled the hydrometer tube. The beer does not have the honey nose/ flavor that real Bitburger has but the lager really tastes great. Primed with 3/4 cup corn sugar and all the bottles went back in the chest freezer to bottle condition at 50 degrees.

This is the comment that I got from those who have tasted this brew. It does ones heart good when your home brew is gone and there is still commercial beer left in the refrigerator at the social function. It was crystal clear, poured smooth with a creamy white head and had wonderful carbonation. This recipe ROCKS.

sounds like a great recipe. Had a question about your "double mash" technique. Is that like batch sparging? Please describe.. Thanks

It is just two mashes. Pour in your hot water, stir and adjust as necessary to temp. Close and wait. Drain into brew pot. Pour in more hot water, stir, adjust and close and wait. Drain. I do ocationally sparge the second mash if I am short on my preboil volume. Hope that helps.
