I got some grains from Jake to brew a batch of Summer Citrus...god knows what the outcome will be, learning curve near vertical. Probably be able to pickle with it. Can anyone sell me some 2 row and wheat malt to let me do a second brew. Also , is 65F to cool for fermenting an ale? Thanks,
-
Speaking very generally, 65°F (18°C) is a fine temperature for ales.
To answer that question more specifically would depend on the yeast you are using, beer style, and desired characteristics you are looking for.
-
How much 2 row and wheat are you in search of?

Hi John, I would like to try Kyle's Raspberry Pale Ale, so I'm looking for:
7 lbs Canadian 2-row
1 lb Vienna Malt
.75 lb Weyerman CaraMunich
But if you wouldn't have these what I'm after is an IPA, cheers
-
Unfortunately my Vienna is at critical levels and I don't have any CaraMunich, but someone else might reply yet.

I've got loads of Vienna if needed, 20+ pounds if I'm not mistaken. That's all I can supply. Anyone with Caramunich?
-
I'll take as much of the Vienna as you want to give up Jake, and take it off the hops bill, or trade for something else, unfortunately no CaraMunich.

I have no Cara-Munich (and only 1/2 lbs Vienna) and my 2-row is very low now as well. There will be some Cara-Munich coming on the grain shipment though. Waiting to hear back on that... I'm sure you could borrow some then...

Hi John, does this mean that you have enough 2-row to sell 7.5 lbs?
-

hi Jake, can I buy a lb of your Vienna? Regards to GF and Rascal
-
Buy? Hardly worth charging for a pound of grain lol. I guess i could charge you the face value, approximately 95 cents. Let me know when you want it.
-
You're working right? So maybe Sat AM if that doesn't interfere with golf etc. Hey, who's the guy in your photo (now that we've established that it's not you; when I came to your house I thought I'd meet that guy at the door....I was going to ask you if your dad was home!)
-
Golf or cottage hoppin is a distinct possibility this weekend, but may be home Saturday. Just a random picture I found of a beer exploding ... thought it was funny. You have my number? call me over the weekend and maybe I can meet you in town.
-
I'll give you a shout Sat am and see what's possible. It's too bad these photos have to be so tiny pixel-wise, it'd be great to zoom it and see the detail. But,hey maybe it's "Christmas yet to come..." YIKES!
-
Hi John, does this mean that you have enough 2-row to sell 7.5 lbs?
Sure, anything up to 20ish pounds if fine of 2-row...that is if Jake doesn't have enough 2-Row to supply you, let me know.
-
Can't do the 2-row unfortunately. Gettin down to the 30 pound range with alot of brewspirations.
-
I'm supplying him with a bag of Marris Otter
-
Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm set up with Jake and Kyle to get some Vienna and Maris Otter on the weekend, so I should be able to amuse my self with that for a bit.
One question for John; I believe you have one of those propane fired turkey fryers? Did you have to adjust the air supply to get the flame blue? Mine is sooting up the bottom of the pot and has way too much orange in it but I don't see a change when I rotate the air inlet control valve...maybe I need some hammer engineering...
-
is it brand new, Duncan? It might just be the oil coating burning off
-
I don't have the propane powered unit, not sure who does, Dave maybe?

Hi Dean, maybe so. The instructions mentioned that the silver paint on the cast iron burner head would set up hard after heating, but I would have thought that a couple of hours would have done the trick. Would you think that more mix air would be a solution for a yellow flame versus less air?
-
yeah a couple of hours is definitely enough time to clean it all up, and yes you are correct ...more air rather than less air to turn the flame from yellow to blue. Does the flame otherwise look good or is it spitting and sputtering and angry looking?
-
Your gonna have some soot on the bottom of your pot regardless but i know on my fryer i have a reg that can make the flame higher or lower. I wouldn't play with the air cause it should already be preset.
-
Dean, Ian, I've got the air 80% max, which is more or less where it was factory set and I guess that's all the range I have to play with. Do you guys have turkey fryers? And if so, do you run them max fuel when you're coming up to a temperature? I've been using 3/4 throttle with propane economy in mind.
-
No I don't run max probably half but it's up to you how fast you want to come up to temp. When bringing your wort up to temp take it slower cause you may scorch it and when it's about to boil you need to watch out for boil over.
