black malt question

« on: October 29, 2012, 07:42:22 AM »

I bought a pound of what I thought was Black Roasted Barley. I got to looking at it and it is Black Malt. It is Briess if that makes any difference. Would this be the same thing as black patent?

Yes.

Use it in something like this

I brewed something similar and it came out great. None of the ash that some people say they taste.

There's definitely a threshold for the ashy flavor. I don't pick it up below about 4-5% of the grist.

I think it might vary with maltsters, too. I've usually used English black malt.
