Hey guys. I'd like to formulate a lager recipe for this coming summer, but I haven't had much success to date in a making a tasty barley free brew. I've been brewing pale ales with millet exclusively (CMC & Grouse, a variety of roasts), and been using the Lavery method. The beers I've made are okay, but not something I'm excited to drink. I'd like to change that.
I'm ready to follow Igliashon's advice on single infusion mashing and get away from the BIAB style I've been doing with a fine grind. It's too time intensive for learning and making okay beers.
Has anyone played around with a combination of grains, like rice, millet, & buckwheat for a single infusion mash? What would be your opinion on the type of grains that would be best for a lager? Give me an idea of the ratios that you think would work best. In return, I'll document this brew and share my results. Thanks!
