    Bucket of mixed specialty grain. What to do?

    Sadly, I don't know any other homebrewers to do this. I have tried to convert some people, but interest is minimal at best. The mix is very light in color. For example, I probably wouldn't have known it had any chocolate in it had the bucket not been labeled.

    Bucket of mixed specialty grain. What to do?

    Thanks for the ideas so far! I do BIAB, and depending on grain bill, the largest batch I can make is make 3-3.5 gallons. Based on the different suggestions I have received I think that I will use 6lbs of 2-row and 1.25lb of "mix" for a 3 gallon batch. Hops have yet to be decided, I am...

I don't know what the exact proportions are, but the label says: -Vienna -Carapils -Victory -Crystal 10 -Special-B -Crystal 20 -Biscuit -Chocolate -Crystal 60 (Maybe greatest to least amount? Definitely not alphabetical) I...

    Fermentors for small batches?

    All I can provide to this is that I brew 2.5 gallon batches and use 5 gal carboys all the time, without any problems.

    Beer Fasting?

    Earlier this year on the blog "A Diary of a Part-Time Monk, the author consumed only homebrew beer for the entirety of lent and he posted updates everyday chronicling his progress. It was pretty interesting to follow at the time.

    Banana Wine

    Today is the one year anniversary of making my first batch of this banana wine. I stole a little sample of it from the fermenter today, and I must say this is some great tasting wine. It is still a little rocket fueley at this point but there is a definite banana flavor with some residual...

    Budweiser changes the color of its can....

    It looks very "Chef-Boyardee" now, like a can of tomato soup.

    Paint Strainer Bags?

    Not a problem. I use the paint bags from Home Depot all the time, whether its BIAB, steeping or filtering. They work great and they last a long time, as long as you keep them clean.
