2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess
2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess
Sweet, Pronounced Caramel. 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. • 2-Row Caramel Malt 60L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts deep golden to red color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to amber and red beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess
Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • The endosperm is completely glassy and will appear to be darker than standard Brewers Malt. • Carapils® is a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention, and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. • Use to upgrade all types of beer, including light colored beers. • The non-fermentables in Carapils® are very advantageous in balancing body and flavor of dark colored beers. • May be used with or without other specialty malts. • Low usage of 1-5% will help achieve desired results. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Brewed today

Brewed today. We changed it a bit by putting 1 oz of the Mt Hood hops in a 25 minutes instead of splitting it. Also we used only 3 lbs of honey. Into the fermentation pale for 1 week then carboy for 1-2 weeks. Had great flavor when we siphoned off a little. Original gravity 1.054.
Still Bubbling 2 weeks after into carboy

Into the carboy after 8 days in primary. Minimal Bubbling until put in carboy. Great flavor when transferred to the secondary. Honey flavor really came out. Nice flavor not too malty, not too hoppy, some fruity tones. Very nice
1 week in bottle

1 week in the bottle and couldn't wait to try. Was it ever good, needs more time but the flavors are so good. Took 4 Bottles to Jimmy Buffet. Everyone who tried it loved it, the raved over the flavor and how they have never had a beer quite like it. I will definitely brew it again. They like the fact that is was so lightly carbonated. I am sure it will have more as time goes on.
Very good

Excellent flavor; a real winner with those who have had it, one of our best so far.
