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.

Brewed 3/9/08

Brewed it today. Was a fun brew session. The hoppy beers always make my house smell great. Only had one issue.... the 60 minute addition of Centennial was a mistake. I meant to just add Amarillo and Chinook but misread the label on the hops and threw in the Centennial. I went ahead and added the Chinook anyway because I like bitter beers and I've found that Centennial doesn't add much perceived bitterness when I brew with it. I doubt this is going to make a huge difference in the final product. If anything, it may add a nice complexity to the flavor of the bitterness. OG = 1.070 #53
Kegged Dry Hopped

Kegged and dry hopped this batch on 3/15/08. After tasting it and finding it to still be a touch on the sweet side I realized I probably should have let it ferment another day or two. Oops! Other than the sweetness it turned out really nice. Definitely more alcohol and body than the APA version. Bitterness is present but actually a little on the low side for my liking. Hop aroma is nice but also a little low. So, I added 2 oz. Amarillo to the keg in a hop sock and put the keg in a warm place (about 70F) in hops that it would finish up any residual sugar that it might not have had time to ferment.
