Pale Chocolate Malt

[landhoney]

In order to get my order over $59 from morebeer to get the free shipping I ordered a couple extras, including some pale chocolate malt. Anyone used it? What should I brew that will really benefit from it? I'm sure you can get similar results using a mix of grains or whatever, but like I said it was just a throw in. Any ideas?

I used it in my last porter. I split the original recipe in half, half light half dark. Its in secondary now. I will taste it here in about 15 min and let you know what I think. I have deen DYING to try it this just gives me a reason.

I'd would be great in a brown ale. I've never used it, but Jamil from The Jamil Show has used it in several recipes. He says it gives a little more nuttier flavor than regular chocolate malt. My rye recipe coming up uses some.

What rye recipe would that be? I like your recipe link in your sig - helpful and convenient.

Ok drinking the porter now.... warm flat and wonderfull. I would agree w/ brewsmith about Jamill its a bit more nutty. I also added .5# more Rye than the original recipe. But together I very much like the profile and the distinct differance from the 3rd place porter we brewed.
I would say you could easly sub 50% ( thats what I did) of the dark and get a noticeable outcome

I'm sure you meant pounds

I've used it as well - I think is gives more of a "medium toast" note then nutty. Taste some raw and I think you'll see what I mean. Per Jamils recommendation I'm using it 50:50 with regular chocolate.

I'm thinking about trying chocolate wheat for the next brown.
