I assume that cold aging is in bulk. Can it be cold aged in bottles.

I am having trouble pinpointing this style.

I want to start buying bulk grain, but I am having a hard time finding any for a reasonable price. I understand that shipping is costly for internet providers. Midwest or AHS have the best going rates for bulk with shipping. The local places are charging a sh** ton for the stuff. I can get...

Oh another thing if you fly sparge you might add just a handful of rice hulls. I don't think you will need them for 1 - 2 lbs. It's not like you're making a Roggenbier, but they never hurt. If you batch sparge, no need at all.

Absolutly not. Rye is a great and complimentary grain for most pale ale styles. 60L Can stand its own in there and the rye is just going to build complexity on top of the 2-row. I think since you are using malted rye a little bump would be good. It is more mild and subtle than raw or flaked...

That looks good. The Simcoe @ 15 should be a real compliment to the rye in this beer. I did an IPA with some rye in it a while ago. The malted rye has a milder flavor than the flaked rye, so you might want to bump that up to 2# and drop a pound of pale. I mashed @ 154F also. I used 1# 40L...

Corn sugar taste like smarties candy. It is the same thing as smarties just with out any food dye.

Boil that Some-B, Boil it like 15 minutes. :D

It gets easier. I can do it damn near in my sleep with swine flu now. :drunk: My AG days are down to about 5 hours of actual work. I have learned to start with the mash, and do all the cleaning and other task during mash and boil down time.

oops, double posted.

I just did the same thing. Here is my thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/help-pick-me-some-hops-118259/

I just checked. Exactly half what I would have spent at my favorite online brew shop shipped. I love hopsdirect. I wisha I coulda makea da babahs wit dim. 1/5 what I would have spent with the local guys.

I did a rye IPA with schezuan peppers and honey. Called it Stir Fry Rye IPA. It's not carbed yet, but it was great going into the bottles.

It looks like some Wheats and IPA are in my future.

Yeah I wish they had simcoe. It is one of my go-to hops, but I will be buying it from midwest this year. BY THE WAY: Damn you DeathBrewer I ended up buying 6 Lbs, because of you. I told SWMBO I was only going to buy 2 Lbs. Oh well, I guess I'll save on shipping This is it the final line up...

I'm just looking for a blonde :D

All right, my line up is a changin'. 1. Magnum 2. Amarillo 3. Saaz (This is my all time favorite It stays) 4. First Gold (uk) ??, or Tradition (ger)?? 5. ?? (states) Something spicy or resiny ??

Yeah, I was really leaning towards Styrian, or East Kent, but German Tradition is a great one also. I have never done a bulk hop buy before. I really thought knew what I wanted, until I saw them in the cart. Then I said, but, but... I want them all.

Honey malt likes to be mashed, but it seems like every time I try to find a definitive answer to that one I find conflicting answers. It looks good, but more continental inspired. You might consider replacing the hop bill with something American, maybe citrus and spicy for a refreshing light ale.
