Aromatic malt

[Zambi]

It seems difficult to get. At least my current part of the world.
Easy in Belgium and the Netherlands.
I'm almost running out, leaving me to wonder:
What is the difference between aromatic malt and amber malt?
Can I use amber mat as a replacement?

 

[Minbari]

Both are pale malts that have been roasted (or kilned) maybe color or brand is the difference?

Well, one smells good and the other is amber colored! Does that help?

Which makes the aromatic amber malt the best of both worlds....

Or it makes it go to war with itself and destroy the world

I think I'd try a dark Munich malt as a substitute for aromatic. The color would be lighter, but the maltiness should still be there.

Since I'm not particularly worried about the colour, do you think vienna would be a good alternative?
I got no Munich

As an aside...
My recipe has vienna, amber and aromatic amber in it (plus pale ale malt).
Overkill?

Melanoiden is similar.

I don't think Vienna would add as much maltiness as a Dark Munich, but why not try it? I'm sure it would still be a great beer, if maybe a little different.

Overkill? Hard to say without knowing the percentages, but it's definitely not overkill if it's been giving you the results you want!

Its very tasty....
Normally with bry97, but this will be with kveik Voss (done before)
Saaz at 60, 15 and 5 minutes, IBU 17

vienna is not really a kilned malt though. amber is 40-60 SRM and vienna is about 4

Looks nice. Might be an interesting experiment to just eliminate the Aromatic and then bump the Pale and Vienna 35g each (or not) to see if there's any obvious difference.

I noticed that Crisp recommends Amber Malt up to 5% of the grist. You rebel.

Apprently I'm not hindered by too much knowledge

Sorry Steve, I missed your post.
That will definitely help.

Then amber, up to max 5%: any idea why?
Just for the heck of it, my current brew has something like 14%

Good question. I've never used amber.
