    Default Ready to Rock Some British/Irish/Scottish Brews...

    Ever since I did that big english barleywine, I've been plumb out of Maris Otter---normally I'd just drop by Weekend Brewer when I'm close to Richmond, but I've got the hookup at the local brewery, getting floor malted Warminster for $0.70/lb...that palette is supposed to be here in early Feb. Can't wait. In the meantime, I've been brewing some American and Belgian styles, but I'm ready to get a mild and a scottish 80 shilling going. So, I just plunked down a bit of coin on a pound of Magnum and a pound of EKG from Puterbaugh. That should last me awhile...

    ha, no...the brewery gets a palette of grain and I take one of the sacks off their hand (that's what she said).

    Ah! OK I thought maybe it was a group buy. But I saw a pic of you with about six bags of grain, so I started wondering.

    .70 per lb is pretty cool!!!

    Especially for this floor malted stuff. I've been using the Munton's, and from what the brewmaster says, Warminster will blow that stuff out of the water. Which is why I want to do a Mild first, because that delicate style will really showcase the base malt. I'm getting American 2-row for $0.50/lb

    Dude, see if you can get your hands on some of the VSS English strains that were released this past season from WYeast. They are all awesome, I've used each.

    ahh, sounds like you are stocked up. They had the Cask Ale, Yorkshire and I believe the other was a new English Bitter strain. I REALLY enjoyed the English Bitter vss and the yorkshire has been getting rave reviews from k4 and I have sampled it in the oatmeal foreign extra stout I just brewed and I'm really liking what I'm tasting. The cask ale also has a crazy dark fruit thing going on. In the EIPA I just brewed I get a lot of flavors I'd expect from a BDSA.

    1469 is excellent. I plan on using it instead of 1968 for as long as I can keep it viable.
    So what would MODOK do if his memory got too full?
    He'd find a powersource and then he'd pick what plugs to pull.
