    Loving Marris Otter - Yum!!!

    I use carapils at higher rates if I feel like it. At a rate ... 12 lb grain, + 1 lb caropils. Also made a beyond straw light colored pilsner that looked like white wine. (Modest fail) Hahaha

    I sparged about 3 gal of 170°F water .... Grain bed held firm, no leaks. I also reduced mash water to about 93% of recommended level. Recirculation during mash? Yes

    Nope... That place is an actual malt house, where they actually do the kilning, germination etc of the malt.

    Just finished mashing with Gen 4, no extra feet to half pull out. I tried this and it worked today. Have to be repeatable .. but so far ... 1 for 1. Success!!! I used a BIAB inside the malt pipe. I made a curved piece of heavy gauge wire (a circle shape) to hold the bag to the edges at the...

    I have tried most of those. I think victory malt is on my list to try soon. Any experience with Victory malt?

    What changes made your beer better?

    Planning on a new way to be more efficient and using a larger sized keg (7.5-10 g) to ferment. I can brew a 5+ gal batch size then go to the fermenter keg, to ferment under pressure and do a closed transfer. I would be very interested to hear what others have learned about fermenting in corny...

    Once you get a taste of Marris Otter ... Kinda like tomato basil and garlic... You will be hooked. Wonderful flavor, body, and feel

    Lighter beers? Do you mean lighter color (SRM) or lighter ABV ? Guessing SRM but wanted to make sure.

    Yes to both. I run a slow recirculate (about 1/3-1/2 open valve) during mash and I also sparge a few gallons (170°) with the mash pipe partially removed

    I have been using Bairds (from Ritebrew) and also Simpsons (from howdy Brewer I think) . Both excellent. Where did you get the crisp #19?

    Notes are very important. Being a quasi mad scientist Brewer - notes did not come naturally. Adding a solid app to the mix took my note taking to a new level. Personally I use Brewfather (Brewers friend and grainfather are other excellent options). The software apps made a massive upgrade in my...

    Loving Marris Otter - Yum!!!

    In case you haven't tried it yet, Marris Otter is a wonderful and unique base malt option. I find that many recipes improve by swapping out for pale ale for Marris Otter to improve taste, a mild malt infusion and also more body. For instance - recipe calls for 8 lbs Pale Malt... I might go 5...
