What to do with 25kg of lager malt?..

Post by bigdave » Tue May 07, 2013 7:54 pm

I have no temp control so can't make a true to style lager but I could make a kolsch or a sparkling ale? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

You can make some lovely pale summery ales with this that will be pleasing in appearance to lovers of pale hoppy beers and die-hard aleophobes alike. That's what I'd do, anyhow.

All great ideas. The simplest answer is: brew anything you like. It's just a base malt like any other, except even lighter in colour and body and taste.

Did you see this thread yesterday? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16517#p625247

I've had Mikheller's Single Hop IPAs, and I've had yours. I'd say this is exactly your kind of beer!

The problem might be, without significant experience, how would one know what he likes? To quote an old movie, "how can I like songs I don't know?". :)

If you wan't it without a chill haze I think a temperature stepped mash might be the order of the day here

Are you looking for suggestions for lager malt based ales or are you looking to use up 25kg of it?

If you need to use it up get a good old Belgian Quad on the go - thats half the sack gone just like that!

Just use it as you would any pale malt. The last smash I did was all lager malt. Tastes amazing. Next up is a Steam.

It's not do much a use it up as more of a how best to use it? situation. When I bought it I thought summer kolsch but don't want to waste the next few months drinking just one thing if there's a few good recipes/styles I could try out.

Always a very good word, but then, a summer of drinking kolsch would certainly not be time wasted. :)
