What are you drinking now?

[mcbaumannerb]

thanks- how do you cold steep your grains, ive never heard of that, the speciality grains for the oatmeal stout will be 2lbs oatmeal, .5 roasted barley, .5 chocolate, and .5 cystal 80.

the final 3rd mash would be 22.5 lbs- the imperial IPA is just 2- row, munich, and victory, maybe i should keep a couple lbs of pale on hand or some extra DME just in case

thanks for the help.

Just put the specialty grains in a mesh sack (like you get in the brewing kits for partial grain), put them in a pot and cover with water (a gallon should be more than enough for what you have.) Let it sit 24 hours, lift and drain the sack and pour it into your brew pot. Just be sure to account for the volume in your calculations (and also account for grain absorption.) I always have DME on hand in case I fall short of my gravity and this would definitely be a time to have a few pounds of it handy

awesome thanks man.

Do you cold steep all your specialty grains or just for a oatmeal stout?

I've been moving in that direction. I just did it with my pumpkin porter and the astringency is notably lower than last year (when I added them to mash at sparge) which was much lower than the prior year when I mashed with them. I would probably keep them in the mash (at least some) for a big RIS where you want more of that astringency, but for smaller dark beers I'll be cold steeping from now on.

Glad to hear your palsy let up and you could have a beer again!

Thanks! It's still a bit messed up speech-wise, but definitely getting better. It can take a couple months to fully heal up. Couldn't stand it anymore!...

Just to clarify, but I think you'd still want to keep the oats in the regular mash, just the dark grains in the cold-steep.

Borderline Sour from Higher Ground.

Picking-up a weird flavor in this, almost almond-like on the finish.

I am pretty sure most of the inferior to this one beer reviews are just a ploy to get brewers to send them something to review and score some swag. I ask, what do you want to review next?

Looks killer. Is the grain bill typical IPA stuff, or did you throw in any Belgian grain?

It's probably the almond hops they used at flame out.

They used apples in this alone with 20+ microbes, from what I was told.

German Pils, Belgian Carapils, German wheat and some corn sugar.

My shop doesn't carry Belgian pils or wheat, so I had no other options but to go with German. I can send you my recipe if you're interested.

To me no beer has a season lol. It is for my friends wedding. It needs to be move. Its has been in the fermenter too long. The stout is for the wedding also. Need to finish the Hard Lemonade too.

Wasn't crazy about this beer when I last tried it. Enjoying it tonight though. This bottle is about one and a half years old and it's better than I remember it fresh.

Great hop. I need to use it more.
Damn that sucks about the Gose. I was hoping it would improve. I'll still taste it while I'm dumping it though....for science.
