Briess Carapils Malt

[rodrigobarriosj]

I have found a Pale Ale beer recipe that I like, but it has Briess Carapils Malt and I cant find any in my country. The recipe also uses basic and caramel malt. Does anybody knows of an easy to find substitute? Or can I make the beer without the Briess Carapils and it will still be considered a Pale Ale? Thank you!

Carapils has other names (carapils is a Briess name), like carafoam (weyermann), or dextrine malt. If you can't find it, you can leave it out or sub with wheat malt or flaked wheat for head retention.

Pretty sure they don't send to Peru, though!

DOH! ... Failed to notice that part...

Pale ales don't really need carapils. Something about the higher hop level makes for good head retention. I'll use it in some lower hopped beers.
