There will be a Malt School for the Brew B Q, featuring secondary malts, such as biscuit, special B, and other such non-base malts. The recipe will be something along the lines of like 9ish lbs. of 2 row, with a single lb. of your featured malt with magnum to bitter and yeast of some variety. I'll do the calculations and get it figured out soon. Who wants in, 8 spaces available. I would like to mention that this is a great opportunity for new members, new brewers, brewers who are shy to get their product in front of other, to step out and be a part of this.

BREW B Q MALT SCHOOL: Secondary Malts
Also, should we call it Secondary Malts or Specialty Malts?
Count me in Joe.
I'm in

Hi Joe
I'd like to do a batch for the party. And if you're willing to do smoked malt, I'd like to do that.
Are you thinking something around 1.050-1.055, 30-35IBUs? Also, I'd like to suggest 1056 or another american ale equivalent. And I like "specialty malts." People might get "secondary malts" confused with other secondary-type terminology.
Thanks- brandon
Im in. I'll throw my hat in for RYE.
Also, in my search I found some interesting specialty crystal, caramel and roasted malts on Cargill's website: http://www.cargillfoods.com/specialty-malts/brewing/roasted-malts/index.jsp
Excellent
Brandon, Smoked malt would be perfect. I haven't thought about the numbers for the recipe just yet until the work week lets up and I can have a chance to sit down and think for a few minutes, but those numbers you suggest are pretty much ball park. If you're in to classifying things, it will basically be an English mild, maybe a little higher gravity like a pre WWI mild, or somewhere thereabouts, that style is perfect for this exposition as basically any malt you can add will still fit neatly into it. Magnum will most likely be the hop for its clean bittering, US-05 will likely be the yeast, I'd prefer if everyone used the dry as opposed to the 1056 because freshness is not really an issue, pitching rate is higher, I just think it's better suited for our experiment and its cheap, although I will take a look and see if there is a particular strain that may be better suited. Also noted is your preference for "Specialty" malt school as opposed to "secondary" I think I like it better that way too. So let it be written, so let it be done. Specialty Malt School it is.
Hey Joe. Just wondering if you had the time to take a look at a potential recipe for the malt school. I was looking to brew next weekend if possible.
Thanks!
I'll have it posted late Friday night, sorry for the delay.
Malt School people, please add your names to the beer list and include your specialty grain. Thanks!
ok, Style is a mild but more of a pre WWI mild, just a bit higher alcohol content, we should be clocking in about 4ish, maybe 5 percent depending on the malt you use. to keep the math simple and relateable we will be doing 10 total pounds of grain, 9 lbs US 2 row, cheap and plentiful, 1lb your chosen malt. That makes it an easily understandable 10% of the grain bill. Keeping it with such even numbers will make it easier for people to conceptualize when they taste it what it's effects might be in greater or lesser quantities. We will be doing a no sparge mash to increase the maltiness, and using magnum hops and S-05 Couldn't be simpler.

Brewed with honey malt on 07/03.
Malt school people, what's the status with your beer. If you haven't done so already, please add your beer to the spreadsheet by Wednesday, July 15th. We will not be using your beer if it's not listed by this date.
We need to have the malts locked in by this date so Nancy can create the graphics for the party.
Thanks!
Brewing my cara-rye tomorrow.
Joe, 8.5 gallons strike water??!! I would usually use 3.5 gallons for a 10# batch. Is that 8.5 gallons total?
Yes sir. No sparge. Dump it all in, after the mash time is up drain it all out. Reduced efficiency, Maximum Maltiness. Harness the power.
