Application Tip:

As an alternative to 20L Caramel malt, Carared can be utilized in Pale Ales at a rate of 3-5%. For a 5-gallon recipe of a Oktoberfest lager, use 1/4 lb. (2.3%) Carared in conjunction with a .40 lb. (3.7%) Caraaroma to gain the right color and residual sweetness for the style.

For Dopplebocks, a small percentage of the grist 3.7% or ½ lb of Carared for a 5 gallon batch will contribute to the overall maltiness and color of the finished beer. 

Configure the recipe to include 39.1% Dark Munich Malt, 39.1% Munich Malt, 11.2% Floor Malted Pilsner, 3.7% Carared, 2.8% Caramunich III, 2.8% Melanoidin Malt and 1.2% Carafa Special III
