I have ordered some of this crystal malt and have never brewed with it before.
This from the vendor's site
400-EBC Red Crystal Malt (1 lb) - Thomas Fawcett & Sons
For all kinds of red, amber and dark top-fermented beers, especially Bitter, Porter, Stout and Russian Imperial Stout.
Brings rich notes of caramel and toffee
EBC: 350 - 450
Usage: 5% - 10% of grist.
Has anybody any experience with it ?
Cheers
Red Crystal Malt
Re: Red Crystal Malt
I used it once in a Rye IPA and it imparted a nice colour with a bit of sweetness. This I used 7% of the grist.
Re: Red Crystal Malt
Thanks nasty, I was under the impression that it would go well with rye in an IPA.
