What doed everyone think of Viking malt? I picked up 50 lbs of their pale malt and haven't been impressed. I'm trying to use it up to make room in my bins for something else.
the campden tab goes in my strike water , it removes chlorine from the water. I had a 6 gallon batch go extra bandaidy on me and I ended up dumping it. I was really pissed, it was a Kolsch . after running it past the masses here, it was thought due to chlorine. so , since then I use campden in every batch. How I managed to do it in 10-12 previous batches without that taste is beyond me. Cheap insurance if nothing else.When does the campden tablet go in? In the mash? After boiling? I have never used that, and in fact I had never heard of them. What about bisulfite levels? Am I correct in thinking that they would be inconsequential at that dosage?
