Intrigued by Franco-Belges' "dark wheat" malt. Anyone have any experience with it? Also their "kiln amber" malt - equivalent to a brown?
thanks.

I use the "kiln amber". It's not nearly as dark as brown malt. I think it's probably closer to a biscuit-type malt. It's fairly potent though, at 2-3% usage (along with other specialty malts) I pick up a noticeable dry biscuit/toast character in the beer. It's nice, but it's not as roasty as brown malt.
