I was rummaging through my grain supplies on the weekend looking for my Irish Moss tabs (yep... found em thanks).
I kept coming across little bags of specialty grains (mainly crystal malts of differing colour) in quantities ranging from ~50g to probably 300g and anything in between.
My question is.... if you are doing something like a barleywine, could you (measured) dump in all the little baggies of grain without seriously impacting on balance, colour etc ? I figure the total weight of the "mixed lollies" mix would be <1Kg.
I'd probably keep the mix to being 1 style of fermentables.. ie Crystal from 50-250 EBC @ 1KG or less. It would just be the ratio of each colour that would be different.
Thoughts ?
