Crystal 80l

[gjn200]

Hi,

Soon to be doing my first extract spec .grain brew and the recipe says crystal 80l. Anybody got any more info on this? It's from a german dvd for America, so I need to know what it's called here. Also its asks for Choc Malt, but theres about 6 kinds, so what sort for an Irish red.

Full recipe

3kg Amber LME
.5kg LDME
250g Crystal 80l
125g Choc Malt
125g Special B
25g Goldings @45
25g Goldings @0

Nice and simple for a first try I thought.

80 lovibond is ~160 EBC, depending on where you get your grain you might see either type of color measurement listed.

And then you find your favorite malt supplier and can match up what grain to use eg http://www.joewhitemaltings.com.au/products.html
