Using Abbey malt as base

Post by LlewBru » Thu Feb 16, 2023 8:38 am

Hi guys,
Has anyone tried using Abbey malt as the base malt? If so, could you give some idea of the outcome? Successful or not?
Any info would be great, especially attached to a recipe! :D
Have a good one!
Llew
Cheers!!

I am not sure what you are trying to do?

I recall Abbey is a darker malt used as an adjunct for red colours and biscuit / chocolate flavours, why would you use it as a base malt? I had some I was tinkering with instead of a chocolate malt.

Have you got a lot of it to use up?
