CaraFoam and CaraHell vs CaraPils and C10
« on: February 25, 2016, 04:16:54 pm »
I am working on putting together a "Blonde IPA" inspired by Pfriem. I would like to mimic the malt flavor I get from the carahell, but get a lighter color. Is carafoam the closest thing? My software shows me I can get 3.8 SRM from 5.5% carafoam. I have used the malt in the past, but not as the sole specialty malt, so I am a little concerned.

IMO you wont get the same from carafoam as carahell as it relates to what you are describing you seek.  3-4% carahell wont kill your color, and I'd expect you'd prefer its contribution based upon your comments.

Edit: I put 4 % of carahell in my pils and color wise you wouldn't know it.
