Anyone use this yet? Any good?
Yeah, many times. Just kicked a keg of IPA made with it. It’s an interesting malt…kinda like a crystal with a hint of tartness in the finish.
I have a 3 ounce sample coming and was thinking about using that in a 2 gallon batch of mild.
I used just under 10% in a 5 gal. IPA and kinda wished I’d used a bit more
Unfortunately 3 ozs. is all that I’ll have which is around 6% of my recipe. I’m hoping to get an extra bit of complexity from it.
I think you’ll get a bit of the honeyish flavor, but it may be difficult to detect the tartness.
If be fine with that in the mild I plan on using it in.
If the tart note is similar to continental Pils malt flavor, you could sub some of that.
I have recently used the Gambrius Honey Malt (supposed to be a Brumalt) in a Blonde ale with 97% Pilsner and 3% Honey Malt. It made a nice beer very similar to 805 Blonde.
Sounds like a good malt to use on light and crisp beers. I, too, have used Gambrinus Honey Malt in a blond ale that mimicked 805 pretty well. I’ll have to get a few pounds of this to tryout.
