So I started brewing back in the late 1980’s with the old extract kits and eventually turned to all grain and lastly went down the rabbit hole brewing low oxygen German lagers before giving it up 4 years ago and going off grid. Now I’m thinking of going full circle and getting back in the game...

Just went into my Marzen recipe to change a few things and as soon as I hit the edit button my specific gravity jumped up ten points without even editing the fermentables or anything else. In order to get it back to my original gravity I have to lower the efficiency drastically. This happening...

What's your experience with this malt and how do you like it? I'm thinking of playing around with this malt in a few lagers, mainly Marzen, Dunkel and Helles. Weyermann says use up to 20% but I've read it's pretty potent and seems most keep it under 10%.

Anyone use this in a Schwarz or Dunkel recipe here? How did you add it to your recipe to get a good guesstimate on color?
