Beersmith and Cara-Pils

[chriscraig]

My LHBS carries "Cara-Pils Crystal malt 10ºL". Would this be the same as the Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L in BeerSmith, or Carafoam?

CaraPils or CaraFoam would be lighter, around 2-3L. 10L is a CaraHell from the German malt companies or just a light 10L crystal from the North American and UK producers.

Carapils = Carafoam = Dextrine malt.

Crystal 10 is different.

Maybe it's Cara-crystal 10? I just used some Cara-crystal 45.

Muntons carapils is now called caramalt is is 10L but is not like crystal 10.

It's kind of hard to decipher. The other crystal malts they carry are "Light Crystal malt 30L", "Medium Crystal malt 60L", "Dark crystal malt 120L". I wasn't sure if the Cara-Pils Crystal malt 10L is just a lighter crystal, or as the name may suggest, Cara-Pils.

I guess, I'll just have to ask them.
