DC Area Group Buy #10

[Bigbeavk]

Will do.

Anyone between Rockville and Frederick able to help?

There's someone in Point of Rocks, IIRC. I drive through there to/from work every day.

I'm in Monrovia if that helps. So let me know and Stonebrewer, Islandlizard who's picking up your grain and we'll make it happen.

Also let me know if you need a stir plate I have those that just need magnets as well. Free

[...] Now those naked ones need a little more TLC: milled rather finely and cooked (cereal mash), don't forget.

golden naked oats do not need a cereal mash. just crush and add to the regular mash.

As sweetcell pointed out, these golden naked oats are a crystal/caramel malt. They're not raw oats!

Description:
If you've never brewed with it, you've probably never brewed with anything like it. While most oats used in brewing are unmalted adjuncts, Simpsons Golden Naked Oats™ is actually a huskless crystal malt. This unique malt has a subtle, nutty flavor with a subdued, grainy sweetness. It imparts light golden hues to the wort while adding body and contributing to a smooth mouthfeel. It also helps produce a creamy, robust head. Although this exotic ingredient is not a traditional component of any beer styles, Simpsons Golden Naked Oats™ is perfect for malty or full-bodied beers - especially Nut Brown Ales and Stouts.

Crystal malts are gently cooked during the malting process. Cooking initiates the enzymatic conversion of starches into fermentable sugars, and caramelizes some of the sugars as the malt reaches its final color. This eliminates the need to mash crystal malt, and ensures that some of the sugars will survive fermentation to sweeten the beer.​

==> Subscribed to 10# of them! 5# left for grabs.

OK, I will close the golden naked oats. Give me the last 5#. Cheers!

Someone want to pick up for me? Might be able to help close some splits ... Too bad looks like I missed out on some unclothed oats ... Maybe next time...

If no one out your way volunteers, you can always count on me to snag your grains for ya!

 

[jeffc]

A quart is really too small for grains.

I use (and reuse) mostly 1 gallon Hefty freezer bags, with the blue zipper/slider. They are nicely sized for 5# of grain. 1 gallon Ziplocks also hold 5#. Then in turn, I store those in 19 gallon plastic storage totes.

Now I do use quart zipper bags but just for DME. They hold 1.5# comfortably.

Since I'm ordering DME and they ended up being free (amazon shipped just one box instead of the many more promised), I'll bring them Nov22(or whenever we end up doing the buy).

I can pick up your grains. Just let the leaders and I know.

Let's say yes, you'll pick it up. We can work on details in PM. I'm hoping I can work around it and do my own pickup (not that I don't trust anyone. Just trying to make life easy).

Thanks for the offer on the stir plate. I have one that I'm tweaking right now. I think either not enough amps on the power supply or something messed up in the variable speed control (wrong sized rheostat or resistor somewhere).

BUT, I bought a couple of bucks worth of rare earth magnets from Amazon. I think 1/4" diameter, 1/8" thick. If you want, I can share... Four? I think two will work, but four to make sure.

You're the best, Keith.

And everyone [EVERYONE!] needs one of his stirrers! They beat any alternative.

Maybe a few of us can relinquish some of our allotments. How much do you want?

I can give you 2.5#. Anyone else?

We don't have to cut at 5# increments. We can do 3# or 7.5# for example to help you out.

 

[stevedasleeve]

My daughter just gave me her sack of Maris Otter - too busy to brew - so if it's OK I'll drop my order... So just a sack of white wheat for me. If it's a problem I'll keep the MO however.

I live in Damascus, and take the Marc train every Monday through Friday out of Germantown. Let me know if it would be easier if I picked up for you. Would be happy to help.

I ride out of Germantown too. Do you take the 5:45?

 

[brettwasbtd]

Cant get up that early I usually take the train coming from Frederick that leaves Germantown station at 6:54am. Occasionally I will take the 6:35am train. Is it quicker for you to drive to Germantown than get on the train in Point of Rocks?

[stevedasleeve]

A quick note on golden naked oats - great for so called session strength IPAs. If you like a little Crystal in your ipa sub in GNO for light Crystal in your recipe. I'll use 1/4 lb in a 5 gallon batch for <1.050 pale ales.

Cheers!
