Cararoma Ideas

[imark]

Anybody got a decent recipe to use cararoma malt in (not to be confused with aromatic malt)? I ended up with some I didn't want and want to give it one last chance. So would appreciate a proven recipe.

So far everything I've used it in (even in very small percentage) has been brought down by this malt. It easily overpowers other flavours in my opinion so looking for a beer that can balance it out.

Not familiar with this malt - what are its characteristics?

It's about 400ebc if I remember correctly and has a strong caramel malt flavour.
Red/brown colour not comparable in flavour to crystal for me. Melanoidan more so.

Weyermanns make the stuff and they say these styles are good for it.

    Amber Ale
    Dunkel Lager
    Dark Ale
    Stout
    Porter
    Bock Beer

The key to your problems is possibly the amounts, they say up to 15% of grist.
