I toasted some two row this morning, 350 for 15 minutes. I used my toaster oven (preheated) and had it spread out in a single layer. After 10min it smelled like burnt bread so I took it out. Thing is it dont look no darker than maybe a crystal 40, I have some side by side and the toasted looks lighter, the hulls are not nearly as dark but the grain itself looks as dark... But I tasted it and it tastes kinda... burnt but not bitter. The C40 tastes sweeter. I dunno. I really dont want to add this to my grain bill if it is indeed jacked. The toasted malt is 7% of the grain bill. What is toasted malt supposed to taste like compared to... plain two row or C40?
Maybe next time I need to have the temp at maybe 300 or a hair less so the grains toast slower? Opinions?
