Personally, I prefer roast malt in porter as opposed to roasted barley. It gives a more natural taste in my view, and avoids the harshness you sometimes find in porter or stout.<br /><br />Roasted corn (maize) is a taste many North Americans are familiar with, kind of scorched-oily. I would think it is not suitable for beer, but maybe I am wrong. Perhaps it was an experiment Plunkett tried which did not take off, but I don't know. Corn's membrane or envelope, albeit lessened by hydrolysis would I think make it difficult to use in the mash tun or even the copper. But even if that was overcome, I wonder still about the flavour.<br /><br />GaryGary Gillmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-34816564585196043272010-08-09T04:14:55.954-07:002010-08-09T04:14:55.954-07:00Would candied malt not be a roasted/dark crystal m...Would candied malt not be a roasted/dark crystal malt?Oblivioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184794716327407609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-73751947067508649282010-08-09T01:12:32.774-07:002010-08-09T01:12:32.774-07:00If candied malt was patented then everything you n...If candied malt was patented then everything you need to know about it will be in the patent.StuartPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748038209546648459noreply@blogger.com
