July Seminar - Grain - Looking for a couple more

[cyburai]

If you have any of the following malts, and don't mind bringing 2 cups worth to the meeting, it would expand what I have.

Brown Malt
Carmel Malts (any of them, I have Crystal, but I am looking to show the difference between maltsters)
Acidulated
Munich
Special B
Roast Barley
Rice Hulls
Golden Promise
Optic

I am bringing about 20 other malts with me.

Everyone should be able to get a pinch to taste and smell.

If you want to bring something, bring about 2 cups. But you might want to check here first, I might have it already.

See you Thursday!

I'm out of town right now, but I think it would be interesting to see the differences between Black malt (Black Patent, etc.) and debittered black malt (Carafa III Special, Dingemanns debittered, etc.).

The debittered really does have a non-bittering quality.

I'm bringing Pale Chocolate, Chocolate, Carafa II, Black Patent and I think one other with me tonight.

I have brown malt and munich I can get to Jensens to bring to the meeting.

Thanks brick.

Great seminar, Sean. Thanks to all who helped by bringing grain to the meeting for people to taste. Very informative.

I really hope that the next seminar could be on recipe building, which I think would springboard nicely from this grain seminar.

Perhaps we could build a recipe or two and talk about why certain grains, hops and yeasts would be good choices or bad choices. I think this could make a lot of really good brewers even better.

Pair the recipe formulation seminar with the commercial tasting. Swap the seminar so it goes first, then taste the style for the tasting!
