Yep, but most sites (including BYO) list then as 'spec' malts, presumably because they generally don't form the principle part of the grist. A bit like me using rye as a spec - it isn't a spec malt, but I use it as one. I think that's where the confusion lies - malts that are base malts, listed/referred to as spec malts. It becomes a semantic issue.Nick JD said:Munich and Vienna aren't spec malts - just dark base malts. The other one that's a bit different is melanoidin.
Saison - I never got to brew one, before I left Brissie. Even in the hot water system room, it's still not hot enough to brew one. But yeah, I've got a ton of free JW Pils (well 20 odd kg of it), and I'm trying to figure out what I can brew that isn't the norm. Cream beers using Mosaic, British beers with Kohatu, I'm not that creative, though I do make some interesting ones (Rauchroggenweiss anyone?).
On topic - hopefully that answers the question.
