malt

Hi, I took a break from brewing since the start of 2022, but still have a lot of crushed grain that I purchased from Maltmiller around that time. The was a best before date of Mar'22 on it, but how "strict" is this date. I want to still use this if I can to avoid throwing it out. Is there...

Hello, I'm new to the game and I am going through the big book 'How to Brew' by Palmer. The first section is a walk through guide on a brew day and the ingredients is asking for Pale Ale DME. I'm finding that specific quite hard to find and I am unsure on how to look for it, or any...

Hi there, This might be a stupid question so I am braced for that. All my malt substitute charts list Caramunich III as the closest Weyermann substitute for Crystal 60L. However if I check with my supplier (https://eshop.sladovna-kounice.cz/Karamelovy-slad-III-Caramunich-Malt-III-d25.htm) they...

I've got a recipe for an IPA which calls for Crystal malt 40 Lovibond which I think is about 78EBC? Anyway I'm in the process of seeing how much all the ingredients will cost me on Get'er Brewed and I'm not sure what to select as the crystal malt. There's Crisp Light Crystal but that has an EBC...

While ordering a custom grain kit I made the mistake of putting in 2 pounds of black malt instead of 2 ounces. I did not really look closely when I opened the grain bag and just added this grain mix to the mash... What an interesting colour of this brown ale I'm making... Anyway, I was too...

Has anyone got any unusual dishes? Kippers flambéd in malt whisky (preferably Lagavulin or another peaty single malt.) Great before a long walk as it keeps repeating. Large, flat mushrooms stuffed with haggis and lettuce, oven baked. I'm trying to persuade my manager to cook me a haggis...

Hi there, I am planning a Smoked Porter tomorrow and have the basic recipe calculated, I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the grain bill. I like smoked beers a lot so don't mind if its quite "pungent" but i don't want to make it undrinkable for visitors etc. There is so much...

Hi there, I tend to brew a lot of recipes based on those in the GH book. However recently I've come across a couple which state simply "Crystal malt" but without any indication of whether it should be 60, 120, 40, 10 etc. Anyone got any advice in that case of how dark to go? I was thinking...

Hi there, I think Vienna is the only "major" malt I am yet to use so I have been putting together a couple of recipes to try and learn about it. The first is a rather simple single hop (Mosaic) pale ale and this is my grain bill: Pale ale malt 3.2kg Vienna malt 0.6kg Carapils 0.2kg Aiming to...

Evening all :hat: I am thinking about doing my first extract beer and found this on amazon. It's a LME and at 3 kg for £13 its much cheaper then DME's I found online. I'm thinking about using 3kg of this + 0.5 kg sugar and some citra /cascade hops to make an IPA. Would this taste OK or do I...
