carapils is a type of grain aka carafoam aka dextrin malt. Its not a proprietary product. A full description of it as posted by Ross on the first page of this thread.SO... what grain would you use to get that nutty, sweet flavor the JSAA has? "Carapils" has been mentioned here, but may be just a name for something made specially for Malt Shovel brewery...
I usually buy malt from Country Brewer. I've used their "Caramalt" in the past, and also recently got some "Munich" which has a really nice sweet biscuit like taste.
The crystal sweetness is best balanced with another grain that lends the dry note to it. Tony's recipe achieves this with a small chocolate addition, and has his recipe in the earlier part of this thread....
Hi, would 2.5kg of dme work instead of 3kg lme??
Thanks

Champs,
I made Tony's JSAA extract recipe a month or so ago and it was great, of course.
I was just wondering what would happen if instead of 3kg of light lme i used 3kg of amber lme or maybe half and half.
I am pretty keen to give this a crack unless someone can give me a good reason not to.
Cheers
