  of the Rye, too...but I would age some in the barrel..bottle about 2 gallons straight out of

  Hey all!I just got a 3L barrel from www.barrelsonline.com/ . I'm going to condition the barrel
  with some red wine first, then I will be aging a barleywine that was brewed back in November.I
  want to do...

  Thanks for the re! What are your thoughts on using it for a base malt?

  I know it's nothing amazing. I just cant find much info about it online, even at the muntons
  site (which sucks for info in general). I am making an Amber ale. Was going to use just plane
  ol' two row a...

  I'm sure 60 would be fine, but I typically use 20. If you're still trying to get a handle on
  the style, you may want to stick with something that has minimal character like 20, in order to
  help you fi...

  Two points: I suggested using some Pilsner because I've had better results doing that instead
  of straight Munich + Vienna. But I dont' blame you for trying. Second, I would definitely not

  I've made a few of these, and I think you're on the right track. But I'd suggest replacing the
  Caramunich with a pound of Aromatic, and substituting a few pounds of Pilsner malt in for your
  munich / v...

  Crazy idea: How much head space do you have? 5 gallons of beer in a 6 gallon carboy? If so you
  have about 1/2 gallon of wiggle room that you could use. Bring 3/4 gallon water to mash
  temp...mash in 3/...

• Posted in thread: What do you do during the mash? on 07-08-2012 at 10:42 PM
  I actually have a checklist (I'm obsessive like that). First thing is first, I open a beer.
  With 50 mins left I grab the other stuff I will need (aerator, carboy, utensils etc) and
  sanitize them. 35 l...

  I had thought about doing that, but my LHS doesn't have any Melanoiden. I know that you can get
  a similar flavor from doing a decoction (thank you HBT search feature...) but I don't know how
  much or h...
