Anyone have experience with this malt? In particular, as a large part of the grist. I'm thinking of using as 30-45% for an abbey ale. The grains themselves look, smell and taste a lot more along the lines of a cross between Dingemans biscuit and aromatic malts, i.e. specialty malt.

I'll have to check my notes, but I believe I used it at around 33% in an abbey single, and I don't recommend going any higher than that for for a light to medium bodied beer. 50% would be liquid bread crust.markaberrant wrote:Based on the description, I am not surprised. No way in hell I'd use up to 50%.cannondale wrote:Have you brewed with it yet Gedge? I find it to produce a very biscuity beer.

Any recent experience with this stuff?
I'm planning a quad... maybe 15% abbey, with some special B & candi syrup as well.

in my time in Belgium, i never saw a brewery that used abbey malt. not saying to not use it, but just something to consider when making a recipe.Derek wrote:Any recent experience with this stuff?
