Belgian malts

[Karle]

I have had a look around and I can’t seem to find Belgian malts in homebrew shops around Auckland. I’m especially after aromatic ones (Dingemann’s Special B and similar). Does anybody know where/if they are able to obtain in Auckland? I’m also in Wellington from time to time so that would be an option as well. Any mail orders possible from somewhere?

Interesting, specially this comment

"Quality caramel malts come from Roasting drums, NOT kilning"

Ya learn something new every day ;o)

Also a few malts ive never heard of before such as -

Abbey®
CaraBelge®
CaraRye®

That Abbey malt could be cool, seems like itd make a beefy as base malt!

Nice poster! That would be handy to have in the Brewshed®

What fucked® formula do they use to get their L ratings?

They must be using the old formula? I assume they're primary measurement is EBC then they convert.

I didn't know you could do it on a beer style either haha!

I tried to make jamils belgian blonde with the "aromatic" malt from the DMH without really checking what the malt was. Just seen the word aromatic and went with it. The beer came out brown. I think that was the only specialty grain in the beer, the rest was pilsner malt and dextrose. (from memory)
The beer wasn't bad but it wasn't a belgian blonde either.
