I was looking for something to add to a couple of batches of UJSM I have going at the moment, to make it more like whisky. An old guy in a health food shop said he had some crystal malt which I thought would be just the thing. When I started mashing I realised it was chocolate malt, no mistaking the smell of flavour.
I'm not sure how this would go in UJSM. My plan was to put the lot (500gms) split between two fermenters and leave it there till I had about six batches done.
After tasting the chocolate malt I'm more inclined to add it to a molasses wash I also have going, seems like it could be a good addition to get a stronger flavour in the rum?
Has anyone used chocolate malt in these quantities before, or have any advice on the final flavour to expect when running through a pot still?
