Spraymalt Question. Does colour affect flavour?

[discodave]

Hi all,

Just another quick question. (sorry for being a pain).

Does the colour of Spraymalt affect the flavour, or does every colour taste identical?

The reason I ask is that I have 1kg of EXTRA DARK Spraymalt, which I'll be adding to an EDME Irish Stout. I picked it up by accident. The last Stout I made was with LIGHT Spraymalt?

I seem to have a vague memory from my early brewing days that using Dark Spraymalt affected the flavour and made a 'burnt' taste. Or am I just imagining things?

Thanks again for all your advice.

Dave.

Light spray malt is usually for lagers or light bitters and such as the taste added by the malt is fairly light.

Medium is usually for bitters and such as it adds more body and a thicker malty flavour.

Dark is for stouts/porters/mild as the malt flavour and body added is much thicker

Extra Dark i can only assume is for stout so you end up with more guiness rather than murpheys (Extra stout vs stout)

I may be wrong.

Yeah, it will add more of a roasted character I imagine. It's what I would probably add to a stout kit.

Regarding the footer on your posts, I think you just put what you want them to say into the "signature" space on your profile although not 100% sure as I have never bothered.
