Grain score.

[Kai]

I got an email on my local homebrew mailing list from a guy needing to offload two sacks of grain, one Rahr 2-row and one Weyermann Pils, no reasonable offer refused. I pounced on it with an offer of $75, and won. Now I have 100lb of grain. Time to get me a Barley Crusher (rolling pin's not going to cut it for this). This grain would have cost $115 from LHBS.

The two-row will be easy to use up. The pils might be a bit harder - I don't lager, which cuts out most of the obvious uses for German Pils malt. I think I'll use it for Belgians and weizens.

Anyway, figured I'd gloat. Time to get brewing.

Nice soar if it is fresh grain. There are lots of ales that use Pilsner malt. I think you will be happy with a Barley Crusher too many of us have it and it works great.

Barley Crusher rocks. Set mine to 1:00 like EdWort. It's like magic. (Cue sound)

I love 100% Pilsner malt for a blonde ale.
