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.

White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
This is the yeast from one of the oldest stout producing breweries in the world. It produces a slight hint of diacetyl, balanced by a light frui|iness and slight dry crispness. Great for Irish ales, stouts, porters, browns, reds and a very interesting pal
Notes
Step mash grains: 110F > rest 30 minutes; 120F > rest 30 minutes; 135F > rest 20 minutes; 150F > rest 20 minutes; 160F > rest 30 minutes. Add 1 tsp Irish Moss and boil 1 hour, following the hop schedule. Cool to 75F and rack to fermenter. Add WPL004; ferment 6 days @ 72F to 76F; transfer to secondary for 8 days. Keg at 12 lb. CO2 or Bottle with 7/8 cup Dextrose. Mmmmmm.....

I highly recommend WPL004 for this style of beer. We used it on this one, plus a black stout (Old #9) that will be served along side it on St. P's Day. I really like the steady fermentation and overall results 004 had on both batches. Will post subsequent comments after it's served. THX.
