Caramel Malt 40L; Briess
Caramel Malt 40L; Briess
Sweet, caramel, toffee flavor. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast 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 Malt 40L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden to light red 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 6-Row Malting Barley varieties.

This turned out great. Age 1-2 weeks for the roast to mellow.

This was a great beer. Very drinkable. Although it already fits the style very well, I would like to have it with a little more body and residual sweetness. I think that would round out the flavors, balance the roasted notes better, and make it even more delicious. As is, the roasted notes kind of stood alone, and made the beer seem dry. Nevertheless, it is very delicious!
