Hi,
As per the title, I'd like help designing a beer that tastes like a Caramel Biscuit. I want loads of Caramel flavour without any roast flavours (or very minimal if possible).
First thing I need to decide on is the style, I'm thinking a Porter as it works well with chocolate flavours so why not caramel? Any other styles I should be considering?
As far as malts go, an obvious choice would be a fair whack of Biscuit malt, maybe up to 10%. What would be your suggestion for the base malt?
Then there's the caramel malts, which combo & how much? I've only ever used them in really small amounts & only 2 or 3 varieties. There seems to be so many to choose from. Keeping in mind I don't want it to taste like a roasted coffee biscuit
Could I use some of that Monin Caramel Syrup or something similar, at what stage would I add it?
Hops, here's where I've got no idea? I'd want them to be subtle but I still want the end product to taste like beer
Any suggestions, feedback or smart arsed comments welcome.
Cheers :beerbang:
