I'm thinking of subbing 2 lbs of the base malt with smoked malt(not really sure why, just seemed interesting). What do you think?
Anybody?
If by smoked malt you mean peat-smoked malt, 2 lbs will destroy you.
I don't have any Victory malt on hand and there is no LHBS within 60 miles. Can I use bisquit malt as a good substitute for Victory?
Brewing this for the 2nd time today! I bumped the grain bill up a bit to accomodate my effeciency since the 1st time I brewed this was also my 1st AG brew and I undershot my OG, but it was still very tasty! Just realized I should have left the chocolate malt alone, so I think this batch will be a wee bit darker than the last time around, but we'll see.
I also just racked EdWort's Haus Pale ale to secondary while this Nut Brown has been mashing, and just realized that I have a great big yeast cake O' Notty on the bottom of my primary. So I think I am going to try pitching this brew onto a yeast cake for the first time just to see what happens
Yeah, anytime you're adjusting for efficiency, just try to bump the base malt. Changing the specialty grains will affect the overall flavor of the beer.
Pitching on that yeast cake should be perfect.
