King Ruddager Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Having said that ... it is also too dark now that I look at the stats. I need to bring it down by around 8 EBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to bring it down by around 8 EBC What level of roasting is your chocolate malt? There are a few roasting levels available with this particular roasted grain equating to very different EBC's & flavour impacts. I use a low roasted version (around 600 EBC) on my amber ale as it is really in there just to throw the hue & not add too much in regard to roasted flavours. Cheers, Lusty.

King Ruddager Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 I switched to 600. Now it's ... 71.1% Maris Otter (4.00kg) 14.2% Munich (800g) 8% Crystal 150 (450g) 4.4% Carahell (250g) 2.2% Chocolate 600 (125g) That gives 29.6 EBC. I'm going to use mosaic to bitter, with a 10 minute addition of willamette and 0 minute addition of mosaic again (which are effectively 15 and 5 after adjusting for no-chill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to use mosaic to bitter, with a 10 minute addition of willamette and 0 minute addition of mosaic again (which are effectively 15 and 5 after adjusting for no-chill) That's a pretty good EBC mark Ruddy (IMHO) & around the zone I work in with this beer. Most of that EBC is the hue from the chocolate malt. Inexperienced brewers would believe there is a heavy flavour that comes along with that EBC, but it doesn't in this case. With just a handful of brews of this you'll understand & pick the quantities you personally want between the crystal malt & chocolate malt that give you the balance of malt derived flavour & beer colour you are looking for. Again, best of luck with the brew. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I reckon that’ll look quite nice in a glass by the time it’s fermented. I think it’s pretty good for an amber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there will be a tasting vid in due course! I've brewed a lot of Ambers but always aimed more for the darker ruby red hues rather than amber as the stle name suggests, though I know in some parts of the USA they're called red ales. I've found the 'sweet' spot to achieve the redder look sits at around 35EBC. I use a combination of Gladfield malts - Aurora, Red Back, Shepherds Delight and a small dose of roasted barley, which I found usually does the trick as far as colour goes. Similar could be achieved with the likes of Carared, Caraaroma, Melanoiden etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think my red ale sits in the mid 30s EBC as well. That one is achieved with caraaroma and black patent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
