    Victory versus Biscuit malt...

    I just brewed an English IPA with 5% Biscuit malt. To me it has a dry kind of cracker like character to it. I've used victory before as well and It adds more of a soft biscuit flavor. Kind of counter intuitive if you are trying to add biscuit flavors. The IPA turned out good but not as bready as...

    Oxygen "Absorbing" Caps
