So I keep seeing this Mild Malt at my LHBS - and it is the cheapest grain they have.
Now that I ( finally ) have a keg system, I'm looking for a nice mellow mid ABV house ale. PLUS I love a reason to brew, so I decided to do an experiment.
Beer "A" ( "C" in Keg )
9 lbs 2 row
1 lb carapils
1 oz Nugget (13.7 AA ) 60 min
Primary until settled
Dry hop 1 oz Cascade one week
Beer "B" ( "D" in Keg )
9 lbs Mild Malt
1 lb carapils
1 oz Nugget (13.7 AA ) 60 min
Primary until settled
Dry hop 1 oz Cascade one week
Gonna bottle 2 gals of each, label them "a" and "b"
Keg the other 3 gals of each, label them "c" and "d"
Then try them on friends and myself to see if:
1) There is any great difference in taste,body, enjoyment
2) There is a preference when bottled
3) If folks figure out that "a & b" are the same as "c & d"
and
4) I can find the one that we like the most to then begin refining a house staple.
Will keep coming back to here with updates for those interested.
