I have an excess of wheat & milo on hand. So in the spirit of spreading the wealth and making sure I don't burn myself out on wheat & milo beers, I'm offering this at a 3-to-1 trade (meaning 3lbs of my grain for 1 lb of yours), for the following malts:

Munich
Crystal 60
Caramunich 60
Acidulated Malt

To be clear, what I have is raw unmalted grain. It was conventionally grown, meaning this is not something I would label as organic. However, this is all grain from my family's farm, so I know exactly where it came from and how it has been handled, so I have no reservations about brewing (or baking) with it.

The wheat is all hard red winter wheat, and I have red & white varieties of milo. I've been experimenting with the wheat stuff for a couple of years now and have done a couple of batches of milo beer, and have had success using it in a few different ways:
  • Direct substitution for flaked wheat, barley, and oats for head retention, up to about 10% of the grain bill, with no other changes to recipe or process.
  • Up to 60% of grain bill, using a cereal mash to break down the raw grain and 6-row malt for extra enzymes to convert the starches. Mostly I've used this method substituing my raw grain for wheat malt in existing recipes. For the beer that I brought to brewfest (Milo Brau specialty ale) I started with a simple pale-ale recipe and substituded the milo for half of the 2-row base malt, then replaced the remainder of the 2-row with 6-row.
  • Fresh-ground wheat also makes for some extremely tasty whole-wheat bread.
I'd consider trading for other malts if you have an excess of something that you'd like to trade. The malts above are just stuff I plan to use in my next few batches, so I have a short-term need for them.

Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,

Kevin

Rob, I have some I got from Jason, so it's been around for a while, but stored in bucket with anti-ox. There's at least 10 lb, I think.
If you're interested let me know and I'll weigh it up.

Sweet, could you bring that with you Thursday? Do you need anything from me? Next to shit tons of base malts, I have Munich, Wheat, Crystal 60, Cara-Pils, CMunich 40, CMunich 60, Melanoiden, and Midnight Wheat. If you don't need any of that, then I'd be glad to pay or do an IOU. Cheers!


BTW, I have your CMunich 120 I'll be bringing to the meeting.

English Maris Otter.

I underestimated the amount I had on hand for the rest of the year, so I skipped the last grain buy. Now I am basically out of my favorite base malt.

Does anyone have any amount I could buy or swap? I'll take 10lbs, 20lbs, hell I'll take a whole 50lb sack.

I have some American 2-row, German Pils, and lots Pale Chocolate (200L) to swap. I also have some extra light DME.
On-tap: Holy Hop Grenade, Coffee Amber Ale, Coco(a)nut Ale, Cracked Pepper Hibiscus Belgian, Doppelbach, Sidney Portier, American Barleywine

Lagering/Conditioning: Munich Dunkel, AAB Maibock, Brett Rye IPA, Russian Imperial Stout

On-deck: CocoMolé Ale

Pröst!
