This weeks purchase

[stevej]

Bought 60kg of malt this week and loads of hops now what to make with it ?

Bloody Hell!

I have a list of known recipes which I would like to work through as an educational excercise, eg. some of the Stone and Mikkeller recipes, and then just some of the classic styles. I have them all ready to go in a queue in Brewer's Friend.

My word! I buy in 30kg quantities to make best use of postage charges but that includes everything.

Why not put the malt in a box, the hops in another. Without looking, take four packs from the malt box and two from the hops. Make something with what you get (you don't have to use the whole lot).

Damn, I wish I could get that stuff here in Japan. Pain in the ars!!!!

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

I know I'd still be scratching my head looking at big empty pan. He's a top chap! And knows bloody loads about all sorts. I've not made a bad beer yet with much help from his recipe knowledge.

 

[clibit]

[Bunglebrewsbeer]
