So I've been experimenting with grains (hey this is what makes ag so great). I'm thinking up my next batch for this weekend and am considering some or all of the above grains. Can anyone give me a better idea exactly what these grains will add? Can I mash them with two row malt?
Rye is supposed to be spicy - spicy how exactly? 1 lb per 5 gal? What type other malts and hops would complement the rye taste?
Flacked barley adds creaminess, correct? Would I be safe in assuming that it'd go well in most any brew?
peated malt.. I haven't had a smokey beer but it sounds like something worth trying. How much? Anyone have any recipes? Something like a porter or stout would go well with a smokey I taste I think...
Is there any benefit to using wheat over carapils for head retention?
I'm all for experimenting with new grains and flavors - nothing too radical though like holiday beer. Anyone have any good receipes they'd like to share?
