Title: Pale chocolate 200L alternative
Post by: molc on January 22, 2015, 05:54:13 PM
Reading through brewing classic styles at the moment and Jamil uses this in quite a few places with Munich and pale. What do people usually use for this? I know fawcetts do a pale chocolate but it's colour is a bit higher which throws things a bit. Weyermann have one of the cara something's that's close in colour, but I'm not sure about flavour.

Also, already off topic, is Munich and pale just an American thing to approximate the flavour of Maris otter? I know their pale malt is meant to be much lighter than ours...

You can check out this substitution chart. I've used it from time to time;
