First of all, holy ****! I went into my LHBS looking for a 10lb bag of 2-row at $12. They didn't have one, so I was about to cave and grab a 50lb bag of 2-row for $54. And then no ****, the manager walks up to me and says, "Hey, I don't know if you have any use for Vienna malt, but the guy over at (a local brewery) hasn't come by to pick his up. There are 50lb bags back there on a pallet severely marked down to $20 each."
Yes. Yes, I would like Vienna malt please. There were two bags and I left with both. I've never, ever heard of a deal like that!
But now seriously, what do I do with 100lbs of Vienna? I was planning an IPA. Should I go 1:1 on the 2-row? I see folks brewing Vienna SMaSHes. Are those legit or just a gimmick? What else should I do with this heavenly bounty of malt?
