Few things that I have questions on that have been lingering :blah:
When a recipe calls for .25 or .50 oz of one hop variety, what should I do with the rest of the hops? Will they go bad quickly in a non vacuumed sealed package? I only brew once a month.
When a recipe calls for .5lb or less of a grain, should I buy a full lb of grain and save it? I buy my stuff at northern brewer milwaukee, and they charge per lb. So if I only need .25lb of a specialty grain, I might as well buy the full lb?
Are you saying you can only buy in increments of a pound when you buy grain at NB? Do they not have a calculator that can figure out the price per ounce if you want less than a pound? I am confused…
However, all there grain is categorized into three price ranges, blue, yellow, and red.
They will let you but and amount you want, as long as it adds up to a Lb. so 4oz. of 4 different “red” grain will sell for same price as 16oz. of one “red” grain.
They are pretty flexible on the mix and match with the grains and I have never had any issues.
