hi guys.
so i have a excess of this malt: Chateau cara ruby "the equivalent of carared" ebc 50.
i ordered too much when i knew less about brewing....
can i use it to substitute common cara,,, malts?
ive learned that i cant go above the 10% grain bill with it,but its gonna go to waste.
im planning on brewing amstel lager clone,blonde ale,pilsner,and the elusive chocolate flavored beer.
any ideas if i could sneak this in ?
otherwise its just gonna waste/expire
thanks
 
Put it in the chocolate beer itll need some sweetness in that brew so It will suit it nicely you may even be able to bump it up around 15% coupled with the chocolate malt it wont come across to sweet;)
 
This would be somewhat equivalent to a 20 Lovibond crystal malt. Although the flavor wouldn’t be exactly the same, you could try substituting this in for crystal 20 in a number of recipes. I think it would go nicely in a Belgian Pale Ale, a saison, or some other pale ales.
