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.

Notes

Damn good clone of a fine Microbrew. I think it actually might taste better than the original 1. Steep pale and crystal malts in 2.5 gallons at 150 f for 45 minutes. 2. Remove grains and add DME 3. Bring to a boil and add Cascade Hops for 45 minutes. 4. Add Saaz Hops an boil for an additional 15 minutes. 5. Cool to 68 f top up to 5 gallons in primary fermenter and pitch yeast. 6. Ferment in primary for 10 days 7. Rack to secondary and condition cold for 15 days at 40 f. 8. Prime with 7/8c cups of DME botle and condition at 50f cellar temp. for 2 weeks. Enjoy.
