I have an awesome brother. He doesn't brew, but before coming for a visit, he went to his LHBS and bought some stuff for me that they don't have in my town. One thing I asked for was 6 oz or so of Special B, which my LHBS doesn't stock. He came with 3 lbs of the stuff, crushed. Anyway, was very thoughtful of him, but I have no idea what to do with all that Special B. I wasn't even planning on using it for a month or so, but since it is crushed I need to use it sooner rather than later. Obvious choice is a dubbel, and I have some cultures from orval bottles that I have waiting for a slightly darker version of Orval, but was planning on color mainly with candi syrup. My next planned brew is a high adjunct america farmhouse beer, and special B isn't really appropriate. Anyway, two real questions:
1. What is the limit for using special B before it gets overbearing?
2. Anyone in the Cville, VA area want to pick up a pound or so of the stuff for free?
