Lacing...

From following lots of threads on here it seems the best lace comes from using a lil' bit of flaked wheat in your brew. I haven't tried it yet myself, but it's on the list of things I want to try in the near future.

I've always taken lacing as a sign of a healthy beer. I'm always skeptical of the beers of mine that don't have it.

Flaked barley as well, lol

Did you go AG on this one thorongil? If so, did you do a protien rest? Oh and why are the lacing lines so close together??? LOL

If I remember correctly, it means you had good protein development that would tend to have good head retention along with the lacing.

AG = yes, protien rest = no. It is just Ed's Haus with some FWH...

You still didn't explain the girlie-man sip lace-lines....

Info on how you modified please, looks like a good lace on that beer and I like it.

I didn't do much... just added .25 oz of 13% aa Galena FWH, and an additional .25 oz of Cascade at 5 min to Ed's basic recipe (and substituted SafAle US-05 since the LHBS was out of Notty)...

Hey, I have a Scotch-drinking habit as well, LOL.:rockin:


Cool, man I see your hop subs and think that should taste awesome.

Definitely shifts the profile to the hop side... 48 IBU's is what Beer Alchemy tells me. I think it's very nice and refreshing; hoppy, but not quite an IPA...
