Hi, I searched the forum and couldn't find any specific Brooklyn Brown recipes. Does anyone have a good one, preferably an extract? Switching over to all-grain soon but just finished building a kegerator so, we are a little poor for a while.

Dumb question but the book says to steep/spare the specialty grains but looking up ingredients the biscuit says it needs something with diastic power. None of the other specialties with this do? Also is malto dextrine the same as dextrine malt?
 
This should be like any extract recipe with specialty grains. No conversion.. They give you flavor and color.

My understanding is Dextrine Malt is Carapils.. MaltoDextrine is a non fermentable powder addition to add body. I believe, essentially, they are both used to add body and or head retention to a brew.. or help fix an otherwise thin beer.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Never used MD.
 
Thanks. I figured it would just be a steep for color/some flavor but they also ref'd sparing & the description of the grain said it needed conversion.. Wasn't sure how to go :)
