I have been planning a "19th Century Whitbread Porter" which I will be entering in the Mash Paddle Competition. Finding some (1k) fresh Brown malt in Qld was a bit of a problem so I decided to have a go at Roasting some myself. I won't bore you all with the procedure which can be found here Roasting Malts. But I thought I might share the results of my roasting day.
Took about 2 hours to do and the smell was great. Surprisingly the brown malt does not look much darker than the base malt it was made from
The malt on the left is Ale Malt and the malt on the right is my Brown malt.
It's when the grains are cracked you can see the difference
and
It has a lovely biscuity flavour and aroma with a little bit of sweetness as well. You can definately smell and taste the advantages of roasting and crushing fresh, I am looking forward to brewing this week.
Cheers
