Cara-Munich????

hopdawg · Jan 30, 2010

Alright guys I'm having difficulties keeping my malts straight.
Help me understand this if you please. I've used Munich10L, and I've used Munich 30-37L both from Gambrinus. I see in a recipe the mention of a "Cara-Munich". What is this?

CaraMunich is a European crystal malt of medium color.

Right. Munich malts are base malts, and can be used up to 100% of the grainbill.

Any malts that start with "cara" are caramel malts. Caravienne, caramunich, carastan, etc, are all different crystal/caramel malts.

I use this chart a lot of times when I'm not quite sure about a malt.

LOL. I guess I have to get rid of that picture of Bob "guarding" my new HERMS rig. I've been called both Mr. and "sir" today!

Anyway, you're welcome.

LOL, it took me a while after I came here to figure out he was a she.

Also i think that most malts that start with "cara" are copyrighted by Weyerman. I know for sure that carapils is one of them.

To make it even more confusing, Caraamber isn't a caramel malt, it's Weyermann's version of biscuit.
