Another one? This is the first Rahr Pale for you, the other is a Briess.

I added the Rahr. Want to change the Briess?

Sorry bad wording - I want one of both to see if there's any difference (I don't expect so).

Ah, OK, I doubt anyone can taste the difference between them, definitely after specialty grains and hops are added.

Now 2-row or pale vs. Maris Otter or Golden Promise, for example, is a whole different experience.

Just a heads up Hardwarehank, I did the exact same thing, and in none of my brews was I able to identify the difference, just a heads up!

Cool thanks! Who knows, maybe I'll like the look of one better than the other or something. It's a small premium to pay to get one of each versus 2 of the cheaper, and it's kinda fun.

I would take either a MO/GP/Optic/Halcyon, a German, or a Belgian malt plus one of the regular US pales (Briess/Rahr). There really is not much telling one pale from the other in a beer, and a decent dose of hops or specialty malts will totally equalize them.

I tried to tell the difference between 2 pale malts (Rahr and Crisp) and although the grain tastes a bit different, the Crisp a bit more fragrant and biscuity, in the single base malt, simple hopped beers (~20 IBUs of Magnum) they tasted very much alike, with the Crisp having maybe a tad more malt character, also being a slight bit darker. Now the MO, GP, and Optic stood out from the Pale and also quite significantly from each other. The Optic also had a distinct sulphur smell and taste, GP and MO didn't.

I LOVE Optic. I, personally, love the aroma I get from it, and the flavor. My other go to malts are Golden Promise, Crisp MO, Bo Pilsner and 2 Row.

IslandLizard, Can you add me to the splits too?

Also I'd like to start a split of Simpsons Peated (If no one is in it yet). I'd like 10lbs of it.

And I'd like to add one bag of Rahr Standard 2 row.

Might have more to add later, just wanted to get this in.

You guys can always add more later. Next buy won't likely be before September. Keep that in mind.

 

[djpuckett]

I'll take that last 10lb of C 40 off of HardwareHanks Split.

And add: 1 x WEY1003 for me please.

Greetings all. I am waiting on a couple of brews where I substituted MO over GP. Trying to decide what I want for the summer. I am definitely in for:

1 X RAH1102 Rahr 2-row

and probably

1X SIM1002 Simpsons Golden Promise

but will decide next week if the later will be CRI1001 instead. GP is fantastic for session beers, I'm not sure if MO is quite so good, but it is fantastic for all else... hence the dilemma!

Cheers,
Steve da Sleeve

Added the Rahr, reserved a slot for your MO/GP choice.

[djpuckett]

No one wants in on the peated?! RAAAGE!! How you guys gonna make them epic scottish ales?

 

[masonsjax]

I might grab some peated. That stuff goes a really really long way though, I'll have to consider how much I want.

Someone on this forum made a 100% peat beer and sent me a couple bottles. It was pretty over the top, but I actually quite enjoyed it. Beer version of Laphroaig.

Awesome! I haven't had Laphroaig before, but one of the highest peated scotches I have had is Talisker do you know how that compares?

Also do you have the recipe? I'm still reading up on how I'm going to use my peated barely.

Cheers!

Laphroaig is extreme when it comes to peat smoke. I don't think theres another label that matches them in that regard.

Sorry, I can't for the life of me find the thread where the guy made the all peat beer. I would just do 10lbs or so of peat malt and hop it to about 25IBU, use whatever yeast you like if that's what you're looking to do.

There are various recipes for peat heavy beers all over these threads:

Also I have a Smoked Porter in my recipe dropdown that has a small amount of peat in it and makes an amazing beer.

 

[sweetcell]

please put me down for:

sacs:
1x CAS1002 Château Pilsen 2-Row 25 Kg (55 Lb.)

splits:
5# of the Weyermann® Light Munich (closes the split)
5# of the Briess DME Pilsen Light

anyone interested in a Briess Bavarian Wheat DME split? i would take 10#, initially.

i will need some more PBW eventually but i'm going to hold off on joining the split for now. i will step up if needed to close out this buy, otherwise i'd rather wait until the next buy (Aug/Sept/whatever).

Okay, if you insist..

You're short, your bellybutton sticks out too far, and you're a terrible burden on your poor mother.

Sorry couldnt help myself.
