I don't want to derail this original topic but wheat malting is quite easy. Use the following... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/easy-wheat-malting-picture-guide-322877/ Some of my wheat is dried in a greenhouse and some is dried in my kitchen oven set to "warm" which is 150-175 degrees...

I live on a small farm in a farmhouse built in 1901. I malt my own wheat and think I'll try barley next. I do make a wide variety of beer styles. Think I might put in a couple hop plants next year too. I love country life.

Just finished brewing a London Porter clone...can't wait for this one.

Robust Porter, Munich Dunkel, Oatmeal Stout

Paradise Brewing on Beechmont ave in Cincinnati is running 5 to 20% off for walk-ins and 10% off for internet orders. This is thru Christmas!

I just finished a nut brown fermented with US05 at cold temps. I was shooting for 60-62 degrees but most of my fermentation ended up at 57-58 degrees. It slows down below 60 degrees but still finished out nicely. Try to get the temps up a little, low 60's it runs pretty good. -Tony

Anyone?

I have been looking at a lot of recipes for oatmeal stouts and have been playing with the following: 5 Gallon partial mash 2# marris otter 1# rolled oats 12 oz. chocolate malt 350L 12 oz. caramel 60L 4 oz. roasted barley 300L 3 1/2# light DME 1 oz. fuggle or EKG @ 60 minutes 1 oz. fuggle or...

My LHBS is $9.95 per 24 (12 ounce). I have gotten a few cases from them but since have friends and co-workers save their Sam Adams, Moerlein, etc. bottles. Only ones I complain about is Great Lakes bottles, the glue for the label doesn't come off easily and sometimes I resort to using lacquer...

Fermentation is finishing up with an all grain batch of Cream Ale that I used WLP080 Cream Ale Blend yeast. I fermented around 65 degrees and I am about to dry hop for a few days before I bottle. Once I bottle this, should I age/condition this like an ale or a lager (cool or at room temp)...

Where is everyone getting their saspirilla and other goodies online for making homemade sodas? Thanks, Tony

I am in the middle of reading "Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition" and a few weeks ago my wife and I took the Cincinnati Over the Rhine Brewery Tour. I asked my father what beer cost in the mid to late 40's but he couldn't remember. Hudepohl had a military beer contract during WWII...

After prohibition but before we entered WWII, what was the average price for a can of beer?

I mostly use Hopville.com and recently started to play with brewersfriend.com I get similar results with both of these, not exactly the same but close. I was just wondering what everyone else was using. Tony

I have come across several online recipe calculators. What is everyone's opinion on them and which do they prefer and why? Thanks, Tony

I picked up a real nice crock "ginger" bottle at a great deal for $20.

I use Briess 33# LME growlers (free from LHBS) for fermenting small test batched (2 1/2 gallon) and these fit in a mini fridge real easy for making lagers.

Next week I will brew a Munich Dunkel for my fall beer. I am running behind as I should already have it done and starting to age. It will be ready for mid November though.

I grew up in Cincinnati and this town has a deep brewing history. I would like to get a couple old brewing bottles, prior to prohibition. Does anyone have some old Cincinnati brewing bottles that they are willing to let go? I am specially interested in old Moerlein "Crock" type bottles...

I about fell out of my chair LMAO on this one.
