What's the difference here? I know carared is more like 15- 20 L and carastan 30 - 30 L. Does carared offer anything that light crystal does not?
I'm planning an ESB, so I'll probably go with the carastan for the toffee/toasty notes. Unless someone can convince me that carared offers something I can't get in another malt, it is doubtful I will ever order it again.

I've not used it myself, but I would think that Carastan would be just as, if not more appropriate in an ESB.

Re: C30 vs CaraRed vs CaraStan
Yeah, that's what I have in the recipe right now. Just trying to figure out what the point of carared is... just seems to be c15-c20

From a quick look, just seems to be a brand name more than anything.

I believe it's weyermann's line of personalized malts. I hate that shit.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter.

I think it's the forerunner to micromalting. Sucks for consistency, but it might be the future of the malt trade.mr x wrote:I believe it's weyermann's line of personalized malts. I hate that shit.

Re: C30 vs CaraRed vs CaraStan
I'll post the recipe I have tonight when I get home for critique. Wondering if carastan & victory might be too much...

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I put Biscuit/Victory/Amber and Carastan in my ESB and they work beautifully together - nice bread and toffee flavours. Each makes up about 5.5% of the grist.akr71 wrote:I'll post the recipe I have tonight when I get home for critique. Wondering if carastan & victory might be too much...
