Special B - Belgian. - Unique double drying process imparts a heavy caramel taste and is often credited with the raisin-like flavor of some Belgian abbey ales. (140-155°L)
I use this grain in all my brews, it adds a lovely plumb flavor. I typically go from 1 pound down to 1/2 pound used with 13pounds of 2 row. And my finish brew is around 3/2 -4 gallons. It gives a delicious flavor that can be increased depending (obviously) on how much you use. My brews typically are made of either Viking 2 row or rahr.2 row . I've been using the Helga Australian hops which I think are great, especially at that crazy price. Recently I used the distillers malt with these grains and had a great result regarding fermentation. My favorite yeast is the Safale s-04. My brews are pretty much the same ingredients depending on what's on sale, but Dingmans special B is always included. The style is what I would loosely call and English ale. Cheers.
The Special B was just what i was looking for to round out my Belgian Ale recipe. I ordered it milled and was very happy with the malt. Delivery was prompt and product was well packaged. I will order from them again.
