I never did that recipe in the end, i did the second one. The crystal listed was meant to be caramalt too.

 

Hope all goes well for the weekend CB.

For what DJ? Both bring different things to the beer. Caramalt is a lot lighter in flavour and colour than Crystal, although essentially it's a very light crystal malt.

I only put Crystal in that recipe on the calculator because Caramalt wasn't listed at the time.

This was my first all grain and I was well happy with it, in fact I am brewing it again this weekend for a mates party. It introduced me to Americain hops and I now can't get enough of them!! I used regular crystal and think it was better for it, bit darker and more body. Going to dry hop it this time as well.

Now I understand :thumb: it's one or t'other...hence the big Q...I'm now learning again the complexity of the malts all over again...there's a lot of change over the last 15/20 years since I last did AG..and you just want to get it correct first time :wha: many thanks James
