Sub for caramunich ??

[soccerdad]

I have a cottage ale recipe that calls for 8 oz caramunich. Local supply is only open by appointment and based on reply to e-mails I think he is out. Next nearest is 1+ hour away. On line is a week wait.

If I understand correctly, caramunich starts with munich malt and roasts to about 60L, whereas C60 is 2row roasted to 60L Should I just sub C60?

could you maybe split the difference and do 4oz munich and 4oz C60?

that really sucks about your store, i didn't know how good mine was until I went to another one nearby

Belgian grains have a flavor of their own and cant really be reproduced, the color isn't really the issue its the sweet caramel, plumb, raisin flavor, but you can get close like above, most of the time it will taste good anyway no matter what you use

Good thoughts - thanks

I have some Belgian special B sitting around - I could do 4oz c60 and get the raisin plumb from 4 oz special B
