Oktoberfest hydro sample tasted awesome when i racked, but ended dryer than expecting.
Not too sure what to expect from the pale ale.

Gosh it's great to brew when no one is home - Just me and Tom Waits, Neil Young swung past too

Even had time to clean out the fermenting fridge

Really warm tonight here in the gong - thermometer read 19.5*C in the garage with the door wide open - warm wind out side too

Sipping an IPA and everything is right with the world

Time for a split?

What are you brewing III - the revenge!

 

[Tony]

0.45 kg Caramalt (Joe White) (17.3 SRM) Grain 6.4 %

0.18kg Caramalt

Whats going on?

I think people post great recipes in this thread and no one reast them!

If i posted something saying to use JW caramalt in a beer i would be shot down in flames............ its crap.....used my megaswill merchants to boost malt profile in megaswill lagers.

I recon its a great malt and use it often. Good to see others using caramalt as well.

cheers

I'm with you Tony.
I bought a kilo worth just to try it out a while back, and just finished off what I had in my last brew.
And i've gotta say, I like it and am gonna get some more ASAP.
Seems a bit more subtle and refined compared to a crystal malt of similar colour. Might just be me, but i've been happy with my results thus far.

Edit: Having said that, I try to keep use of it in non-British style beers. Crystal seems to be the go for that more authentic British style 'toffee' malt complexity.

 

[devo]

Thinking of doing warrens 3 shades stout this weekend. That reminds me I better prep a starter!

Totally agreed, it can be used up to high %'s with a very subtle Crystal character if used correctly. However if its in a base malt +caramalt beer it can end up sweet! I doubt you would get shot down tony! You are widely respected in this forum for having simple recipes with all grains having a purpose.. not just there because they 'should be'.

I always like to balance mine with some darker crystals such as an 80L crystal or in some cases a 120+L in a lower %'age. :icon_drool2:

My AIPA is an exception as i want the sweetness of the crystal to stand up against all of those hops! :icon_cheers:
