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.
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.Last edited by Harhm; 2 July 2019, 13:00.2017 SANHC-Finals-German Pilsner.2019 Academy of Taste-1st Lager +1st Overall-German Leichtbier.2019 Free State Fermenters-1st Place-Australian Sparkling Ale.2019 SANHC-Final Round-German Leichtbier.2020 SANHC-Top 5-EishBock.2021 SANHC-Low Alcohol Cat: 2nd-2%Lager, Over All Cat: 2nd-Schwarzbier.2022 Free State Fermenters-1st-American light Lager.2022 Fools and Fans National Competition-Top 5-Dunkles Bock

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.

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.Last edited by Harhm; 15 July 2019, 11:29.2017 SANHC-Finals-German Pilsner.2019 Academy of Taste-1st Lager +1st Overall-German Leichtbier.2019 Free State Fermenters-1st Place-Australian Sparkling Ale.2019 SANHC-Final Round-German Leichtbier.2020 SANHC-Top 5-EishBock.2021 SANHC-Low Alcohol Cat: 2nd-2%Lager, Over All Cat: 2nd-Schwarzbier.2022 Free State Fermenters-1st-American light Lager.2022 Fools and Fans National Competition-Top 5-Dunkles Bock
