Sierra Nevada is a case demonstration at 10% grist, split only with pale malt. That beer has that classic pale ale, deeper malt support and a light amber, 6-8 SRM color. Compared to Sierra Nevada (significant cascade hop usage), more caramel flavors emerge in less competitive-ingredient recipes, as in most lighter beers. Adds complexity to darker beers, particularly when those darker flavors can intermingle well with a medium crystal (in consideration of dark\/roasted malts and aggressive hops). Can be significantly dosed 10%+ into a barleywine or strong beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMalt details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOption to mill day-of shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/Proximity-Malt-Product-Guide-03.11.25.pdf?v=1779904602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eProximity Crystal 60 spec sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eProximity operates malthouses close to barley-growing regions in Monte Vista, CO and Laurel, DE.
