Frequently asked questions about Château Café
How much coffee malt can I use?
Castle Malting recommends up to 10% of the grist. In brown ale a small share is enough for a hint of coffee.
Does coffee malt contain coffee?
No. The coffee flavour comes from roasting the malt, not from coffee beans.
What is the difference between Café and Café Light?
Château Café is 500 EBC and gives more colour and coffee character. Café Light is lighter, 250 EBC, with a milder coffee flavour.
Should I choose whole or crushed malt?
Malt starts to lose aroma once it is crushed. Brewshop stores the malt whole and only crushes it when you choose crushed malt in your order. If you have your own grain mill, buy whole malt and crush it right before brewing.
