Hey Guys,

A few people have asked me to do another Malt bulk buy.

Prices are around $45/ 25kg Aussie base malt and around $60-65 for imported Weyermann base malts.

You can just about use it in anything you would a light crystal from Irish reds, APA's, Euro lagers just to name a few and I think it s only rated around 60-80 EBC.

[peas_and_corn]

I'm interested, would like to see a list of what I can get

 

[tdh]

CaraRed is light German crystal about 50EBC.
I use it in Altbier, 80/- and Dunkelweizendoppelbocks.
Try it instead of the regular crystal that you brew with, it's a favourite.

While Carared is a crystal malt by definition, it is NOT a light crystal as such. It produces marked reddish hues with a slightly sweet background BUT with some aromas and flavours that you would normally find in a melanoidin malt. Too much can overpower a subtle English style. Suitable for ales only really. If you want the reddish hues in a pils or lager then use Weyermann melanoidin malt.

Yes it is a fantastic malt but as Wes points out is limited in its use, crack some open and you will see what is almost like red candy, it is a bit like a white chocolate cherry ripe, it looks light on the outside buts red on the inside.
Melanoidan at very low levels can impart a subtle malt character to a pils without affecting the colour too much.
I use a lot of both malts but not a lot of either in a brew, certainly not since I discovered that the flavor profile I was trying to get with melanoidan is better in the 5-8% range than the 12-18% range !!!
Of course that is a profile that I was looking for so it has no bearing on what others may look for.
