I am reasearching recipies to help finalize my recipe, this was helpful.<br /><br />I am utilizing some brown and amber malt along with light crystal. I have a tendancy to over do the non base malts but my recipe is very similar to this one so I think I will be fine.LGhttp://gianakis.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248546133851524141.post-65856641163985277502010-07-12T10:18:50.013-05:002010-07-12T10:18:50.013-05:00The thing I think US brewers, home brewers include...The thing I think US brewers, home brewers included, miss on this style is that the vast majority of these beers aren't all malt. More poignantly, a vast percentage of the character of these beers comes from these non-malt adjuncts. I really think it comes from a fright of non-malt adjuncts as some how things that aren't malt don't produce superior products.<br /><br />The arguably 4 best Milds made in the world are not all malt. Moorhouse Black cat uses about 10% flaked maize and 10% dark invert. Batemans dark uses 4% wheat and invert. Brain's dark uses a lot of dark invert and glucose. Over 20% of Elgoods Black dog grist comes from non-malt which include Flaked maize, torrifed, wheat, roast barley and invert sugar. These beers have a combined 20 wins at the GBBF with Brains taking Supreme champion 3 different times, Black cat twice and Bateman's once. <br /><br />Non-malt adjuncts are very good things...Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.com
