GW Brew Your Own British Real Ale Wadworth 6X

[RichardM]

In my copy of GW's BYO British Real Ale the recipe for 6X lists the malts as
Pale Malt 3890
Black Malt 165
White Sugar 125
Black Malt 34

Those are grams for 23 litres.

Can I assume the first Black Malt is a typo and should be Crystal? If so any ideas on colour for the Crystal?

Yep, just checked, and it's crystal.

 

[marshbrewer]

Pretty sure you just want a medium crystal. I wouldn't get too hung up on the exact type.

 

[RichardM]

Thank you both. If I have enough crystal in stock it will be brewed with that, whatever colour it is.
