carapils and flaked barley

[Slid]

I just use this:

http://www.brupaks.com/BRUPAKS GRAIN GUIDE WEB.htm

I might sticky it. What do people think?

I think this is a very useful link indeed!

Right. Missed this!

Never heard of torrified barley, are you sure it exists? Flaked barley is rolled like oats. But comes from a different plant! You can buy flaked barley in health food shops and some supermarkets - it is an essential ingredient of Guinness. But does a similar job to oats in an oatmeal stout I guess- adds mouthfeel, creaminess and boosts the head. But is different. Think Guinness vs an oatmeal stout.

I've never used carapils, also known as dextrin malt - it adds unfermentable sugars, therefore body, and not much else. I get enough body without it for my liking. maybe I'm missing a trick.

Caramalt is brilliant. One of my favourite malts.

Have I covered it?!

Oops i was miles away i meant wheat not barley silly me

I'll sticky it then (Until Clibit writes a grain guide. Something to do whilst your dossing around in redundancy, Clibit? )

Red and duncy. That's me. Maybe I will write something. Will see. Not used all the grains by any means. But enough for a solid start I guess.
