Hey rust - this is my shredder set up, since I forgot to show it to you.

 

[jhenderson27]

Cidah throw me down for 1/3 flaked wheat. Possibly 1/2 depending on interest from others

 

[Smashing]

Waiting to see if I get the mill I asked for my birthday this month. If I do I'll prolly be adding 2 or 3 bags to the count.

 

[CidahMastah]

Got you down jhenderson.

Smashing - sounds good, hope it sparks some more participation. If this keeps dragging I will have to add more to my order

I goofed when I jumped on the last wheat split, I thought it was flaked wheat. Not sure what you use malted wheat with.

Cidah, can you switch me to the flaked?

I can switch you for sure (you interested in going halves with jhenderson to close it out or 1/3rds).

However if you don't have malted wheat in your cash I would recc it. Any hefes or dunkels or american wheats (sam adams summer ale), some porters and many more benefit from wheat. It improves head as well in small doses.

I am shot so I will update tomorrow.

Peace!

 

[TwoGunz]

I'm not a fan of hefs but am interested in using wheat as an addition in various styles... Is flaked or malted more appropriate?

 

[TwoGunz]

I haven't used wheat yet but I think the raw form will better fit the sorts of things I might use it for.

 

[CidahMastah]

I haven't used wheat yet but I think the raw form will better fit the sorts of things I might use it for.

I have used both and I think there are differences, but they aren't crazy differences. One is malted, one is not. So conversion for raw wheat usually isn't as good as the conversion for malted wheat.

I think the other key difference is flaked wheat is more for thicker/silky mouthfeel than malted wheat. Kind of like using flaked oats. Flavor wise there probably is a difference but i think malted is much more quaffable, with flaked lending to a more sipped at brew. Not that it will make a beer heavy necessarily. The sam adams clone goes down well with flaked wheat - but not nearly as fast as a BMC would.

All that is just my personal experience with brewing witbiers with flaked wheat and dunkels, hefes and american wheat. So YMMV

I updated your request though...

 

[TwoGunz]

Good feedback, that's helpful. I'll try the flaked and get a feel for that.

Ive been trying to resist, but alas, i cannot! Please put me down for 1 BD-MOPA, I ripped through my first bag uber fast as I used that as the base for a handful of stouts which came awesome.

I put my first oatmeal stout on gas so that it should be done when I get back home from my current trip... Can't wait

Jamil's oatmeal stout is really good - have been enjoying that for a while - just kicked the first keg of it! Was making black velvets too - cider ont eh bottom and stout on the top.

 

[CidahMastah]

Got your BD-MOPA; that puts at 22 bags!!

Lots of near completed splits. So I am thinking that it won't be too long before we have a big jump in our total. Hopefully we can get this sucker closed before snow!

 

[jhenderson27]

Cidah that porter recipe you wanted of mine can be found in the porter recipe section under Burbon Vanilla Porter, i did mine off that minus burbon. Its a denny conn recipe.

Ah no wonder - Denny is the man!

So yours is the same as his just less the bourbon? I had his on the list of "to dos"

 

[jhenderson27]

More or less that same. I used more vanilla beans and marris otter vs base 2-row.

 

[CidahMastah]

Cool - I will look up Denny's recipe. My buddy has been on an imperial kick lately, so this should work well.

 

[buffalobrewer]

Cidah,
You can put this under my name, but it's the Sultans of Swig HBC order:
Jason: bdmopa
Andy U: bd-mopa
cm-2row
Matt bd-mopa
cm 2row
Jeff: bz-munh
bz-vien
Kate: cm-2row

I believe there will be a couple more bags coming soon.

Very cool - I have you guys down! Not a bad contribution at all 8 bags!!!!

30 Bags Total and 12 more bags to go

Remember guys, look at the splits again. If you have interest, they are a quick way to rack up bag totals. Right now completing the splits would bring us up to 38 bags.

 

[CidahMastah]

If anybody is looking for Honey in the cuse area for meads etc., I found a local place that seemed very reasonable if you buy it in 5lb sizing:

Buckwheat (local)
Orange Blossom (from FL)
Wild flower (local)

$3.5 for 8oz
$5 for 1 lb
$18 for 5 lb

I think I will try all three! That seems like a killer deal and the place is about 5 minutes from my house. If anyone wants contact info. I am not affiliated in any way with them, just passing along the info to be helpful.

 

[rustbucket]

hmm, i might let me look into it. i was thinking of making 1 gal of mead

 

[TwoGunz]

Get in on those splits people! I need that roasted barley and wheat!

 

[CidahMastah]

Oh and for the Honey - i am not doing a group buy with it - just letting people know if interested.

Twogunz - I just added myself to one - but it was the brown malt!

Since no one seems to be jumping in on the malted wheat split I have open, I will take the last third of this:
GP-FLWHT

[Cidah, you can leave the CM-WHET open as if it fills I won't mind having both to compare/constrast.]

 

[jeffb418]

Hey! New to all of this bulk buying but wish I saw it a month ago since I just bought 3 55# bags at retail

But since its such a good deal put me in for the following:

BD-MOPA x1
TF-OPTC x1
CM-2ROW x1

Figure that will help you guys get a little closer!

I have you down Jeff - We are getting closer and closer!

[rustbucket]

ok i have a couple things to fix on this...

Can i cancel my CM-SPIL
can i cancel my split of the C120

and to replace it
can i add

BD PALE x 1
BD MOPA x 1

 

[CidahMastah]

I have your changes in rust - surprised nobody jumped on the 120 - I use that a lot. Kind of like special B

35 bags!!!

 

[jbsengineer]

Josh I have you down - just a note. They seem to be out of stock for the GW base malts a lot. If there is an issue I will probably have to go with cm-pale instead - you ok with that? I have used cm-pale in the past and it is a very good product.

38bags ... 4 to go!!!

We could darn near close this out with some split participation!
