      Checking recipes on web, some people use a 3 - 5 % caramel pills / hell. What would you suggest ? or rather a few percent Melanoiden ?, you prevoiusly mentioned using it in a Pilsner.
      You are in luck, I actually brewed 2 German Pisners side by side because I also couldn't decide between Cara hell or Melanoiden.

      I personally like the malt profile of the cara hell Pilsner a bit more, although it has a richer malt profile than just Pilsner malt its a bit smoother and softer drinking than my 5% melanoiden Pilsner.

        • I originally set out to brew a Irish Red Ale but accidentally ended with a beer in between a Irish red and a Dry Irish Stout. It tastes like a Guinness with less roast and it is also not as dry as a Dry Irish Stout. Unfortunately its not possible to get that real Guinness creaminess without Nitrogen but it still has a very good head with fine bubbles.

          I added the roasted barley and Cara munich III that was already crushed to the base grains and double crushed it, increasing the flavour and colour of the beer more than I expected. I did add some oats to the grains for a bit more mouth feel from the start so I suppose it might be closer to a Oatmeal Stout but still need a bit more oats to be a Oatmeal Stout.

          Its a great drinking beer and will definitely not last long.

              • Just realized I've never attempted an Irish Red ale...something to try out, do you have to run nitrogen or would co2 do?

                  CO2 Is fine, about 2 volumes does the trick. I carbonate English styles with suremix it makes a difference imo

                    Where do you get your suremix from? Afrox?

                      Sorry for the delay I went hunting. Yes from Afrox, try and get Suremix 60 (60% CO2 40% Nitrogen)

                        Do they allow you to open an account for bottle rental as an individual, or did you do it through a company?

                        I've been renting a bottle through my company for a while now, but won't be able to for much longer.

                                Thanks guys.
                                Kegged it 1 July, medium sweet start with rich Caramel malt and a medium dry finish. Low fruity esters mostly raison, medium to high spicy phenols pepper, no real noticeable clove (I dont like clove so Im happy with this) WLP 530 @ 18 ° Moderate to high but still pleasant alcohol warmth considering the high abv. Im planning to bottle and wax seal a few for long term storage.
