Long time lurker, finally able to organize and get my order in the next group buy.
This is my first time using Castle does anyone one have a preference between Chateau or Weyermann? Likewise any preference between Crisp and Muntons Maris Otter?
Thanks.

The #9 thread is closed so I'm posting here. I'll be picking up CaptainAl's grain for him on Saturday.
Speaking of which, are you still good to get mine Sven?
It's not closed as in "no additional posting possible." But so noted.
Thank you!
Well it has an icon that says "closed" and I was unable to post an additional comment.
Please put me down for 10#'s of CaraAroma, didn't work out on the last split.
Sorry I am going to miss the festivities on Saturday. Masonsjax is going to grab my 1 x 2-Row

Interested. Please pm me if still open
Please read the first post of this thread carefully. It explains all the details on how to participate in the buys. Welcome to the group!
I think I need more DME; my starters are [literally] eating that stuff up!
10# of 3400C Muntons Extra Light
Thanks!
... and then you have to boil it...I guess after lautering the main mash, one could add a few pounds of 2-row to some or all of the already hot grist, add new strike water and do another mash at 148°F while boiling the main recipe. No time wasted, and almost free starter wort.
... and then you have to boil it...
or you could just use some dme![]()
the DME needs to be boiled for a minute to sanitize. nasties like SMM (precursor to DMS) have already been boiled off during the extract creation process.Both the wort and DME need to be boiled (10-15 minutes) so the differential is 0.
i'm completely with you on that one. the stuff is pure evil. we live in such a damn humid area, the stuff clumps together as soon as you open the bag. must be nice for those in Arizona, but for us swamp-dwellers it's a pain in the @$$.I really hate working with DME, which seems to have an identity crisis, thinking it is in fact pixie dust and must go airborne before covering everything in the room.![]()

second runnings out of the mash tun need an hour boil to vaporize SMM... or am i missing something? (highly likely)
Please put me down for:
1 sack - RAH1002 Rahr Standard 2-Row 50 lb
Also, put me down for the following splits:
5 lbs - (BRI1035) Briess 2-Row Caramel 40L (50 lb)
5 lbs - (CRI1036) Crisp Crystal 60L 25 kg (55 lb)
Cheers,
Kirk![]()
[...] back to ordering grains... to contradict myself: i'll take 5 lbs of the DME.
Almost missed that line. We desperately need an icon: ON TOPIC!
Added 5# DME.
Any reason funnycreature picked Muntons Extra Light over Briess Pilsner?
I agree on the ease of DME once it's dissolved in the pot. I read somewhere that starters should be closer to 1.030 for optimum growth and least stress. I use 1.035 now.
Frits, please pick the DME that we have used previously. I have not preference.
Please add the following for me:
CRI1002 Crisp Gleneagles Maris Otter 25 kg (55 lb) 1 Bag
We've always ordered Briess Golden Light. I'll change it to that. Let me know if you want Briess Pilsen instead.
I've been using Briess Pilsen for starters. It has a tad less Carapils/Crystal in it. Not a big difference.
Sure, make that the Pilsner DME if you want. As long as the other buyer is OK I'm fine![]()
i'm happy with pilsner DME - dryer the better.
since #9 is closed, i guess i'll have to ask this here:
what are the logistics for tomorrow's split party? when should we show up, what to bring, what (not) to wear (remember - it's after Labor Day, so no white bikinis), etc...
