Home roasting crystal malt

Post by Mr H »

Hi

I was wondering is it possible to roast crystal malt in you're own home, I have see a few sites that give methods for roasting you own malts from pale mats. Is it possible to roast low-level Lovibond crystal malt to a higher one in you own oven or is there some adverse effects by doing this?

H,

I couldn't see that there'd be a problem with doing this.

Give it a go and let us know how you get on.

(Always better to learn from someone else's mistakes than your own!)

Cheers,
