A log of the beer that I'm brewing using Mr Beer barrels (2.25 gallon) as fermenters. I currently buy my grains and ingredients from AIH and Let's do Wine and Beer in Buffalo, NY. I run a 2/2/3 schedule for fermenting, keg conditioning & fridge. I don't sparge these days so deal with it.
Blacklands Pale Moon 2 Row (Texas) Malted in Central Texas by Blacklands Malt. This base brewers malt is produced from well modified two-rowed barley. It produces a very clean, malty wort with a moderate green sweetness and a touch of earthiness. It is a great enzymatic malt for quick conversion to be used as a base for any recipe, especially suited for IPAs and Pale Ales. This malt may be used for up to 100% of mash grains. 1.9-2.3 L Blacklands Pale Moon Mesquite 2 Row (Texas) Malted in Central Texas by Blacklands Malt this malt is then smoked with Mesquite Chips by Austin Homebrew Supply.
