Making Studs Oatmeal Stout and need information for ordering?

[MtnBrewer]

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.

[Jdtirado]

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.

I have a choice of both, so which one? It doesn't matter?

Go with the Briess. I suspect they are the same, but, just in case....Beach

[Jdtirado]

Thanks guys

[Mya]

Cara-Pils, Caramel Pils, and Cara Foam are all pretty similar

[denny]

IIRC, Weyermann copyrighted the name carapils, so other manufacturers who make a similar malt have to call it something else.

Thanks Denny. I ordered the Breiss

I can't find Weyermann carapils anywhere. Only carafoam from them.

[Big Nake]

Yeah, CaraPils, CaraFoam and Dextrine malt are interchangeable to a point.

Briess bought Weyermann?!?!

[Murphy]

Weyermann may be licensing the name to Briess

[Mya]

Weyermann may be licensing the name to Briess

or the other way around, curious to know, but no biggiefrom Briess

If you're looking for proven, top notch performance in a dextrin-style malt, we recommend Carapils^® Malt produced by Briess. Carapils^® and Cara-Pils^® Malt are both trademarks registered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and owned by Briess Industries, Inc. That means that no similar product can be labeled either of those names in the United States. Both refer to the same, superior quality dextrine-style malt produced by Briess.

however I think Weyerman wins
