Vienna Malt is a kiln-dried barley malt that's darker than pale ale malt, but not quite as dark as Munich Malt for example. It adds a golden color and a toasty or biscuity malt aroma to the beer and is used in a variety of styles from dark to light ales and even lagers.

Caramel 20L is a light crystal malt made with 6-row barley. It imparts a golden color, candy-like sweetness, and mild caramel flavor. Crystal malts also add body and improve head retention. Usage is progressive, starting light to balance pilsners and reaching the maxiumum 15% to impart color and sweetness to darker ales, stouts, and porters.
Crystal malts are gently cooked during the malting process. Cooking initiates the enzymatic conversion of starches into fermentable sugars, and caramelizes some of the sugars as the malt reaches its final color. This eliminates the need to mash crystal malt, and ensures that some of the sugars will survive fermentation to sweeten the beer. Briess caramel malts are roaster produced to create glassy, crystallized sugars with rich flavor and color.

Nottingham Beer Dry Yeast is highly flocculant and has relatively full attenuation properties. It has a high alcohol tolerance and is great for specialty beers. It creates low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas, and is considered neutral as an ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malts and hops to develop.
Recommended Fermentation Temperature: 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with a good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer.
