I plugged this is on BeerCalculus and came up with a potential 9.5% beer… are the vienna malts intended to be ounces?

Edit: Strike that whole comment. My GF just pointed out that it was for an 11 gallon batch. Thank god for better halves.

I’m really enjoying this one after work! The nutty flavor of the brown rice comes through nicely.

5lb 2-row
2lb steamed brown rice
1 lb stone ground corn grits, cooked

mash at 150

.6 oz magnum 60 min
.5 oz sterling 0 min

WY 1450 fermented at 62

Better keep her around on brewday. She may prove to be good at keeping you in line. :wink:

FYI I believe that the NB CA kit already has honey malt in it. Ive made it several times and I always detect the taste of honey. If you add more to that kit, I wouldn’t go over a half pound or so.

This one is pretty good, just don’t tell anyone what’s in it. They never can guess.

Looks like popcorn. Though I can’t imagine why.

[quote=“Norman”]Looks like popcorn. Though I can’t imagine why.[/quote]It serves the same purpose as flaked corn. I’ve done it myself a time or two…and it’s just plain fun to use it! :wink:

What about the residual oils in the popped corn? Does that carry over to the glass eventually? Assuming the stuff is being popped at home.

31

No oils, it works fine. I hot air pop it but a microwave could work too. It’s just torrified maize. Here is one in the glass just over two weeks from brewing.

This may be a little off topic… I added about 6 oz of C40 to the NB cream ale all-grain kit, bittered w/ Centennial to about 20 IBUS and finished w/ a 10 min addition of 1 oz Cascade (25 IBUs total) and came out with a DELICIOUS blonde with the biscuit/honey thing in the NB cream ale grain bill. Inspired by the Centennial Blonde never-ending thread on HBTalk forums. Recommended!

This is nothing radical but it was a great beer. Basically NB’s Cream Ale with different hops. I’ll be brewing this again when the summer heat begins to pass.
