JK: That looks very nice, Amigo. Actually... I did take some shots of your beer because it looked so nice in the glass. But I was having some camera issues and your beer shots came out fuzzy. Then I went back and looked at a bunch of other shots that had been taken recently and they were fuzzy too. When I looked at my camera, there were smudgy fingerprints all over the lens (pesky kids!). I had some shots of some of my beers in there too and they're all fuzzy. But the beer was good! Cheers.

DOH!

I think it would be good. Only concern is if caramunich is more malty than crystal (I don't know if it is) you may want to bump up the AAUs a little bit.

I don't think the caramunich is more malty, I just think the flavor is slightly different. At least that's what I've heard. I have some that i haven't got a chance to try yet.

Oh also I dont have Access to White labs yeast only Wyeast brand any suggestions would standard APA 1056 be ok for this recipe

[chadm75]

What about adding Caravienne instead of the Caramel malt? It would definetely be lighter in color. I've got a pound of Caravienne and am looking for an excuse to use it.Also, if I added Caramel 40L as opposed to Caramel 60L, what are the differences I can expect? Less malty?

Yes, WYeast 1056 is virtually identical to WLP001.

other than 1056 attenuating slightly more I believe you are correct

nbbeerguy: That looks just fine to me. I think the CaraMunich is slightly lighter in color and probably just about as malty as C60 so I can't see a problem here except for a slightly lighter color (which isn't a problem at all). I have also made the beer with 1056, WLP001 (preferred) and US-05 and I think the 1056 will be great. Cheers & good luck with it.

DOH!

I know. I was just on vacation also and my wife handed me her camera at one point and I looked at the lens... smudges! My kids had been using her camera. I cleaned it off and hoped that the previously-taken shots were okay... I would hate for my wife's shots of the Grand Canyon to be smudgy. Cheers.

Oh sweet. Can you send me some of your beer? Mine seems to be doing the exact opposite.

It's like the disclaimer on the diet programs... Results not typical.

Finally got all the ingredients for this beer. Going to brew it up this Saturday.

[Big Nake]

Good luck with it. I have some in primary that desperately needs to get into a secondary. Cheers!
