I'd like to brew belgian style AG beers, but we have a very limited range of foreign grain available in the country. We don't have, Special B, Buscuit malt or Melanoidin malt
However we do have:
Australian Pale Malt
Weyermann Pilsner
UK Pale Ale Malt
UK Marris Otter Pale
GER. Vienna Malt
GER Munich Malt
UK Cara Malt
UK Crystal Malt
UK Chocolate Malt
UK Roast Barley
UK Dark Crystal
UK Amber
UK Pale Chocolate Malt
Uk Golden Promise
Carapils
Australian Wheat
Can anyone suggest how I could get substitute the belgian style malts with ones in the list and still make a reasonable belgian abbey style ale?
I've heard I can use munich malt in a decotion mash to up the melanoidin levels to make it similar to melanoidin malt, but will have to investigate further. Has anyone tried that?
Thanks
