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.

It looks like their brewers choice of hops for sure. May be more bitter than the brewery's though. Please share your results when you drink!
Yum

Ballast states Sculpin in 70 IBU's Let us know how this one turns out. IMHO Sculpin is their best brew to date.
IBUs do look high

I have not brewed this yet, but I'm thinking of combining the different 60 minute boiling hops into 1 Warrior hop addition. I buy hops by the ounce and buying a complete ounce just to use a quarter of that isn't feasible. Warrior shouldn't disagree with the flavor of Amarillo and Simcoe either. I do agree that 100 IBUs seems excessive, but this is the recipe I found. When I brew it, I'll probably adjust to get around the mid 70s. Sculpin's definitely about the flavor and aroma, not the bitterness.

After a little research, found out many probrewers prefer Tinseth scale for calculating bitterness units. Previous incarnation of this recipe which some have commented on used BeerTools scale and came to 100 IBUs. Now that it's edited for Tinseth, IBUs are closer to what Ballast Point reports.
