Caramalt 35L

[ronniedeb]

Does anyone know where I can get this grain, or a suitable substitute? Beersmith has it as Caramal Malt 35L (Bairds)

Caramalt is crystal and 35L = crystal 90 ebc or there abouts.

And I've been on the beer all night 😊

Thanks. It's kind of confusing, especially when Bairds distinguish between their Caramalts and Crystal Malts.

[Frequent Sequence]

The specialized names are just marketing.  There are subtle differences in flavor between maltsters
but the naming schemes are just to distinguish themselves in the marketplace.
It is confusing.  Maltsters like Bairds are using the cara prefix for the lighter crystal malts. not that it is a different basemalt.
Weyermann is pretty known for this kind of unnecessarily convoluted naming. For example caramunich and caravienna are not made from munich/ vienna but are rather just crystal malts that are kilned to a similar EBC.
All crystal/cara/caramel malts start as green barley.  With some minor exceptions like cararye carawheat etc.
