Hello, fellow brewers.
I'd like to try my first All-Grain recipe next week and on that occasion some acquaintance of mine that works in a commercial brewery is willing to present me with a 5kg of caramel malt. Now I am not exactly sure if it's a CaraAmber, or CaraHell, or WhatTheHell
I think with that amount of malt - it's just asking to be a single malt brew.
After googling and browsing the HBT forums for a fair amount of time I was unable to find any recipe that would only use caramel malt. Thou I'm sure I cannot be the first one to come up with such brew idea.
Can somebody please point me in the right direction, or maybe share a recipe that would be based off crystal and caramel malt?
I.e. should I use sugar for such brew, or caramel in the malt will be enough? What type of hops/yeast goes well with caramel?
Thanks!
