Nice to see a local, free competition. But the grand prize is a gift certificate and giving up rights to your recipe, not sure if I would want to take first.

Roasted barley is 2 row that has been roasted, is unmalted and is generally sold as 300L. Black barley is Roasted at a higher temp, is more bitter, hulless, and I would call the flavor much "Sharper", and stronger. Color is usually 500-550L. I find it to be a little burnt or acrid, some...

8 OZ total Cocoa, 4 primary, 4 secondary, you could probably drop in 8 at the end of boil if you dont want to secondary. The cocoa extract is pretty strong, the flavor is never super chocolatey, but the aroma is pretty intense.

I would definately rethink the Black Barley, It will give you a lot of coffee notes but not much chocolate, maybe replace it with roasted barley and up the chocolate a little more to make up for the difference in color. In mine, I also add 4 oz Cocoa at 10 mins, and another 4 oz into...

I have used Kolsch yeast for a big Wee Heavy, a decent size cake ensures your not underpitching. I have also used it for APA, which definatly show off the hops.

I love my corona mill, it goes through grain quick, is adjustable and was easy to convert. Look at the ugly junk thread sometime.

According to their website: Due to high volume orders we are temporarily unable to produce specialty malts. Sorry for the inconvenience, please keep checking in for future updates. Thank you, Colorado Malting Company Seems like there is interest in around 500-600Lbs currently, i...

I use plastic champagne corks, a rubber mallet, and cages and they work well for me, I cant advise on using standard corks, except the cages will not fit properly.

Im with this guy... Try a clamp on the hose fed by your racking cane, Aerating at bottling or racking is horrible on the beer and a 25cent clamp will make it all better.

Id be in, probably for 150lbs + some more of that awesome Purple hulless

How much time will you have in each country, and how are you traveling?

Last year I was amazed to find that Tommyknocker had some pretty incredible GABF only beers, I would put them on your lists for sure. Sam Adams also had their Longshot Competition guys there serving, and you got to vote, all 3 beers were unique and interesting... plus voting is always fun...

Beersmith would help you infinately with this. But if you dont feel like dropping the scratch you can use brewbuilder at brewmasterswarehouse.com. Go into the recipes and you will be able to play with grain/extract amounts, hops (it will calc IBU), Yeast (Will calc ABV) and adjuncts. Just...

I think if you look into it moving to a secondary is considered unneccasary and most conclude that a long primary is better for the beer. I usually do a 3 week or 1 month primary, and if I am dry hopping I do so at the tail end of the primary for however many days and then bottle. The less you...

Its worth the trip, and the Johnny Cash burger is FANTASTIC!

I dont like chilled glasses, especially frozen ones as the frost waters the beer down... and I dont like beer that cold anyway. I am a believer and a preacher that ales should be served cool, not cold.

I agree completely, I do not like belgians... I dont care for bologna either, so perhaps it is related.
