Aromatic Malt Substitute

[kevo]

Title says it all.....have a recipe that calls for aromatic malt, 20 Lov for an Alt bier.

Any suggestions of what would be a decent substitution? Can I find it by a different name around the place?

cheers

Marvelous.

Ross, whats the approx lov. of each of your crystal malts?

Kev

All of them? He's got so many crystal malts! The EBC of all his malts are on the craftbrewer web site.

I don't know about the approximate Lovibond of all Ross's crystal malts but the the Melanoidin he mentioned will probabably come in around the 25 lovibond mark. This will be a reasonable substitute for the aromatic malt in your recipe.

Righto, sorted now.

Thanks everyone.

Melanoidin isn't a crystal (just for the record).
It's made similar to Munich malt, and needs to be mashed.

yeah, no worries, thought I'd ask while Ross was answering....
