OMG the freshness of grain

[Frisp]

Peeps
I popped round to ye olde friendly maltings in Warminster this afternoon and watched the bloke fill me a bag of the freshest Mo I ever did see. It lay in my car while I was at work, when I got in to drive home the smell was awaesome, I wanted to inhale the whole bag......
This my friends is fetish territory... I kid you not....

Now I have sniffed it.... any suggestions what I can do with it..... I was thinking 5 galls of Butcombe or big kenny or bluebird on Sunday.

Lucky bugger, being able to collect fresh malt from the malting house, mmm the smell - would put a horn on a jellyfish :lol:

Sweet Jesus your poor Mother!

I know what my Old Lady would say if I rang her up and said " 'ere our Mam, pop down the Maltsters and get 'us 50 kilos of Pale Malt will ya?" Unforunately her reply wouldn't be "Golden Promise or Marris Otter?"

they take £28.50 for cash..... which is a bloody bargain in my book...... Just jumped into the car again tonight and the smell is gorgeous.... its really fruity.... a bit like driving round in a large malt loaf...
Decided Im doing 40L of Butcombe tomorrow......

Have to say I have never looked at their postage rates, Its only a 10 minute drive from work so I just have to pop along at lunchtime.... The whole place just smells lovely. My last bag was Muntons and there is a world of difference in the aroma coming from this bag.. I have high hopes.... PS brewday is postponed until tomorrow. Im having a go at making one of Vossy's SS box style hop strainers. **** I should have taken pics..... rollox..... Hmm..... as the wife said to me only last night... "I think Im going to have to fake it again....."

any suggestions what I can do with it.....

I suggest you seal it up, and dispose of it as there is obviously something wrong with it . . . . I am licensed to dispose of waste grain, and can get Parcels to go to collect it tomorrow

I came across this site based in Salisbury that are selling Warminster maltings grains for £31.99 for 25kg with only £5.65 24 hr delivery. They also have a good range of hops and yeasts.

Frisp is right, they are really good quality grains and really fresh.

Anyone know a good recipe for Summer Lightning?

Great site by the way
