pale chocolate malt

[bkov]

I brewed 11 gallons of robust porter yesterday and used about 4% pale chocolate malt, in my grain bill instead of old fashion chocolate malt, boy, did that wort taste yummy. I cant wait to taste the final product... What has your experience been using this malt... I just may continue to use it in place of in the future, depending on what I'm brewing...

Definitely contributes a nice complexity not easily found by using other malts. I find it doesn't have quite as strong a roasty note as reg. chocolate malt. I use about 2-5% in many of my darker brews.

More nutty and chocolatey and less roasty. I often update old recipes to use half of each for the same total color contribution but I like all pale in an English brown.

I've used a few pounds of it. It certainly will never replace chocolate malt in any of my recipes. I'll use it to add complexity to dark beers only for now on.

It's an awesome malt to use in a mild instead of regular chocolate malt.

I like its complexity addition even in amber beers. I think that it really adds something special to my Fat Tire clone (adapted from Perro) that before I saw his recipe I thought was missing because I was using regular chocolate.

I've used small amounts in lighter beer and don't care for it, not even in ambers.
