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.

Nice Chocolate finish with berry hints

This recipe was harder than I thought. After the first week the fermentation slowed way down. I racked to a secondary fermenter and pitched a secondary batch of yeast. I also added 2 quarts of raspberry juice. The fermenation kicked into high gear and after 1.5 more weeks was done. FG was 1.02

would this work with strawberrys
Fruit Question

Yes this should work with just about any fruit. Make sure that your fruit is seedless, unless you want to try filtering between you primary and secondary. If you try it with strawberries, let us know how it turns out. My last batch is going fast and I am going to have to brew something else to spoil my friends.
A little help?

I plan on brewing this recipe this weekend with cherries, and I have a couple questions for you if you don't mind answering... When and how much vanilla bean and Irish moss to add? I got the Oregon Puree from a homebrew shop, and from the weight to liquid conversion I will need to add about 9 pounds of cherry to this recipe, does that sound correct? Sorry for the NOOB questions, this is my first batch using fruit.
Over the top?

So I brewed this one but I made a few additions- in addition to using cherries instead of raspberries. I added a pound of honey total chocolate is 24 oz and... half a bottle of sweet sherry. It's bubbling away nicely and I know it's going to be strong but how long should I let it sit in the primary before I move it to the secondary? Hawkr says he added more juice and yeast... anybody think that just more juice would be good or should I add more yeast?
