Substitute for Crystal 10L

[HoweFox]

I am thinking about brewing the popular Centennial Blonde over on HBT: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centenn ... all-42841/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The recipe calls for 1lb of Caramel / Crystal 10L, but NG only sells 30L. Any suggestions on what to substitute with (maybe 0.5lb of Crystal 30L) or where to get Crystal 10L?

I would just use the 30l it'll still be blonde

Carapils would be pretty much the same; I don't think 10 L is supposed to add much in terms of color or flavor.

Also, something tells me that NG's Carapils may actually be 10 L.... am I crazy in thinking that?

This website can sometimes be useful for figuring out substitutions:

I use Carahell for C-10 sub

Nope our cara pils is actual cara pils... But it is 10l as far as I can gather they do achieve sorta the same thing but crystal would have slightly more flavour/fermentibility. Please correct me if I'm wrong this is kinda what I've put togeather through my reading and listening to brewers talk in the shop..

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I think I will substitute the 1lb of Crystal 10L with an extra 0.5lb of cara pils (there is 1.25lb already in the recipe) and 0.5lb of Crystal 30L. Shouldn't really matter too much since the amounts are small anyway.

I've got crystal 15 in stock of you are interested. I'm home all day and I'll be coming into town tomorrow as well. Thanks
