Thank you. I had to Google "Ferulic Acid" because I have not heard of it before. Wikipedia indicates this is found in apple seads and oats (two ingredients I will consider adding at the flameout of my next brew).
Cheers
Thank you for sharing your experience. Brewing with Rye is on my wish list (once I gain consistency with my grain bill and hop profile).
Also, I appreciate your support toward blending flavors. There are many times I enjoy mixing different beers to experiment with flavors. Some folks...
My first few brews were Brown Ale (I noticed in your profile).
I have since grown to enjoy brewing wheat-based brews (because I can make them light and drinkable or big and powerful)
Cheers
Thank you Jayhem. This is my second all-grain brew (well, partial, because I still believe there is value with liquid malt extract to generate an extra boost toward my OG as well as mouthfeel -- it's all in my head)
Previous to this I was brewing liquid malt extract with 3lbs of dry malt...
This is an experimental brew which combines attributes from three beer styles:
1) the banana-nut malty flavor from Belgian Dubbel
2) mouthfeel and richness from a Wheat Ale
3) sticky sweet caramel maltiness from a Bock
A mixture of 14lbs of 8 distinct malts plus 3.5lbs of wheat malt...
Who has added a small amount of smoked malt to their weizenbock?
