I used the Skagit Obsidian in a "landbier" lager recently and it was a very tasty beer. Not sure what exactly it contributed but I couldn't find any fault with it.
Yes, my wife and I visited on a Thursday in June and besides being hard to find (no signs just a little address post) Seth was out back with his ear protection on and couldn't hear the bell announcing our arrival. Called some of the phone numbers on the web and he returned a call and finally realized he had some customers. Great visit even still though we were the only folks to come by-- tasted good beers, toured the brewery and viewed the crazy mechanized malt machine in action. Took home 100 lbs. Very impressed and the malt is great. A must visit if you're in the area (Thurs Fri or Sat. only).@AzOr I have a bag of the Vanora right now. It is a bit richer. It also has a much higher diastolic power. The Lamonta has enough enzyme in it to dry out an ale. If you get a chance, go visit Mecca. I was there in a June and got to try some of their house beers, and got a tour from Seth who is an awesome guy. It’s a great road trip.
it's not too late! even with shipping, the cost of a bag of Mecca malt is only a little bit more expensive then getting sacs from my LHBS. i'm happy to pay an extra 10-20% for high-quality ingredients. you don't need to order a whole sac, they also sell by-the-pound.That's sad news. I never got to try the product but it had a great reputation and a great story.
then we'll need to hire folks to run the place, we'll all get into a argument about what to call it... but sure, here's my benjamin to the good cause$5.5M? I'll pitch in a hundred bucks, let's do this.
