Hey all

Decided that the new brew rig won't be ready for some months, so going back to the old grainfather for this weekend's brew. Anyone know what the EBC/SRM for light xtal is? I've picked it up as a substitute for Caramunich (i think). Hoping to get the right details in beersmith.

Brewing a Belgium Pale Ale. One of my favorite summer recipes.

What brand/malster? Caramunich I is more a medium crystal, packed with raisin toffee. I also fancy it in a Belgian ale. Going to knock out a dubbel tomorrow with a mix of caramunich I and special B
 
Having said that of course, I actually checked and caramunich I is around the same EBC as Simpsons light. JW light is even darker. Something like Gladfields light is a fair bit lighter.
 
Make sure you've got your name right. And as mants says, depends on which maltster it's from.
The main ones i've seen/used are:
"Light crystal" (Simpsons, i think) is 60 EBC
"Pale Crystal" (Simpsons) is 100 EBC.

But Joe White is pretty common here also, and no idea what those xtals are.
 
Thanks all. Will sort it out. Brewing it tomorrow.
