I love this sort of cooking/brewing. Let us know how it turned out!

Yea, I'll post a follow up in a month! The fermentation is taking off as per normal. Smells great and should be pretty darn good.

Ya know, that recipe actually looks kinda tasty!

haha, try it! I used munich yeast... So there is no style to this, should be good though.

The title gave me an idea. Make a true "potluck ale". I could invite 3 or 4 friends over to brew. I provide the base malt and then each of them bring a specialty malt. They pick which one and how much. Then we put it all together and brew it, no matter what they are. Would be even funner if we didn't reveal what our choices for malts were until after it was done and we had the tasting.

Well, it's quite the brew! Very nice mouth feel and quite bitter. Nice orange color to it. Not bad for a "f*ck it" beer. I'll post pics with the next class.

That was quick. 12 days from grain to glass!

I needed a filler for my heavier beers. This was a quickie. Still good though!
