We've been here a while Dan. Even though I don't participate as much as I once did, it's still an interesting place to drop in and post. Hope all is well.

Sometimes life gets crazy.

Just glad to hear that you're still going, Dan.

Indeed it is brother Iz. Years ago I asked my brother to get me some authentic Hawaiian music, and he sent me Makaha Sons of Ni'iau's album "Keala" in vinyl. Featuring Iz and band when they were relatively young. The whole album is great, and likely still available in some form.

[opus345]

Dan, How are you mate!

Happy new year and I hope you and the family are safe and sound!

Usually I've been hanging out at WineMakingTalk, but I'm thinking about buying a heating device that would let me separate components or substances from a liquid mixture. My son was home over the holidays with his fiancé and I ended up giving him my brewing kettle, cooker, and chiller as I hadn't used then in at least a year or two. WHAT WAS I THINKING!

Now I'm reading threads in Electric Brewing. I'm really interested in folks view on a Brewzilla,Foundry, or a Mash&Boil that I could use to create a mash/wash that could be used in the separation step.

How is your brewing progressing?

Take care brother.

[bracconiere]

i should be finishing up a brew this time tonight, but my malt just says delivery "pending"...bummer, crap like this is why i learned to malt my own...but have gotten lazy...

 

[opus345]

I hate "pending"

 

[Kent88]

It would help bracc if the marshalls hadn't put him in the middle of nowhere

 

[bracconiere]

huh? they set me up with two local feed stores that stock whole barley! there's perks to living in the middle of no where.....

but i got my batch brewed today, malt showed up yesterday....got crap effec. though, only pulled 87% ...guess i should have busted out the ph meter after all, or sparged slower....

 

[Kent88]

As someone who grew up on a farm and has worked in a grain elevator, you're making me cringe at the idea of malting cattle feed for something people will consume.

 

[bracconiere]

why's that?

 

[Stormcrow]

Probably referring to all the dead rats found in elevators. I wouldn't worry until i found one in a bag though. I'm sure the barley that winds up in the malt house has some skeletons in its closet too.

yeah, i've always figured the same. all i find are some random corn kernels, and some millet in it though. not a big deal to me. tastes fine to me, i sent some off to other people. one said it was good, still waiting on the other.

just don't want to be overly confident with it, although, i've been drinking beer made from it since 2016

 

[Kent88]

At some point, people start to care about the grain that is destined for human consumption.

Nobody gives a crap about what goes into animal feed. Is it moldy, is it close enough to what we say it is, and will they eat it are the big issues. After that, nobody really cares.

 

[Stormcrow]

Good point about mold toxins. (Although they do test for them and try to keep them out of feed. ) As far as everything else though, we are "processing" the grains for human consumption every time we brew. On a related note, i was just asking our seed dealer the other day if his company offered two row seed. (Been thinking about dipping my toes into malting.) My theory is that the stuff sold for seed has to be pure and cleaned before bagging. Id like to plant a little patch too.
