I don't have a temp control system so I change my brewing depending on the season. Summer I use yeasts that benefit from the warmer weather and turn to other strains in the fall and winter months. I'm lucky and live in an area with a mild climate so I can get away with ambient temperature...

Been playing beat the dealer since it came out. Finally won! Time for a happy dance!

If you go through Coos Bay, check out 7 Devils Brewing Co. They are the best (read only) brewery in the county.

Same here. Love the stubbies!

Appears Luther's favorite beer, Einbeck, was made from two thirds barley and one third wheat. "Yellow in color and clear." so I would use a non roasted malt, probably a pilsner or 2 row with white wheat. Add a German ale yeast and some hops that would have been available at the time and you...

I have used crushed malt a couple months later with no noticeable difference. Just store in a cool dark place and you should be fine.

Working out a recipe and I have no Vienna malt. What I do have on hand is: 2 row 6 row Marris Otter Carapils Biscuit Crystal 30L Crystal 60L Red Wheat Wondering if a bit of Biscuit and either 2 row or Otter would work in a pinch. Any input? Or shall I use this as an excuse...
