Crystal Malt

[scottb12]

Hi everyone,

 

I have 750 gms of crystal malt left over from my last brew (traditional draught with 250 gms crystal steeped). I was wondering what other sort of kits I could add this malt too?

 

Also what kits benefit from adding other sort of malts?

 

One of the online shops I get my gear from has a smoked malt. I'm keen on trying this with a dark ale to get a smokey flavour, has anyone tried this before?

 

Cheers

Scott

Any beer you want a bit more colour in really. I mostly use it for Bitters and American Pale Ales. I've never tried it in a Lager but I see no reason why it wouldn't work well in a bock for example.

Hi Scott,

 

I have used Smoked malt with success.

 

This is the recipe I have used a couple of times

 

Campfire Porter

1.7Kg Os Stout

1.7Kg E. Bitter

250g Smoked Malt (cracked & steeped 30mins)

23L water

14g Cooper's ale yeast

 

I've wedged it into the "robust porter" sub-style. It really is a robustbeer. If you are looking to make it a little more meek make it to 25L and maybe 150g Smoked Malt and 150g of Crystal. As it is it makes for a really interesting but easy to make brew.

 

As for your crystal... I'd say use it in all your future beers. [cool]

I agree with Chad, Crystal in all your kits will make a big difference. However, Smoked Beer is certainly not for me thanks [sick]

I've had one of the German Rauchbier - Smoke Beer. It's really weird!

It was from these guys

 

It was the wheat beer that I had

Scott, you may find post #2 worth a read in this.
