All great strains! Grabbed them this time last year and used the 1882 in an English IPA. Damn great performer in terms of attuenuation and flocculation. Can't wait to try it with a run of milds come winter. I fermented around 18C and got these lovely stone fruit apricot esters which paired well with a 1.5g p/L dry hop of chinook.

 

[Kingy]

Put me down for for a 1768 thanks Steve, cheers.

Oh, there was another point I forgot to make.

I have the Thomas Fawcett's Floor Malted Mild Ale in stock at the moment too.

Steve,

I have recently heard through the grapevine (perhaps you?) that the Australian supplier who supplies yourself & many other online brew shops in Oz with Dingmans products has deemed their products too expensive & too hard to sell & will soon not be importing any more Dingmans products at all.
Any truth in this as I'm a big fan of Dingemans Pils & their specialty malts such ad Special B, Biscuit, etc.

 

[TheWiggman]

Put me down for a 3787 and 2042 please

Hi TidalPete,
It is indeed true.

These much loved Belgian malts are nearly exclusively used by us home brewers and it would appear that the volume is not enough to warrant the next container of malt from Belgium.

I am campaigning for the supply to continue and I have not been given a clear yes or no at this stage. I have been un supplied the malt on my last two orders so I know they are out of it at the moment.

Sadly this may be a case of use it or lose it. I think these malts are much under used, even though they cost a little more.

At the Micro brewery level these guys are opting for cheaper alternatives to their base malts. And it is the base malts that fill the container. I know these guys use the specialties and they will miss these too. I expect they will campaign to retain them too.

I am about to place my next malt order and will have some discussions around this range of malt.

At the moment I have all of the range, but that will not last long.

Wish I had better news.

Steve

 

[TidalPete]

Thanks for the confirmation Steve. Much appreciated.

I'm really going to miss those Dingemans Malts if/when the inevitable happens.

Let's all hope for the continuation of supply of all Dingemans Malts in Oz.

 

[TidalPete]

Apologies.
First double post ever!

 

[Dae Tripper]

Taste is good but nowhere near FG yet

 

[barls]

does this include special b in that distribution mate.

Steve, I'll be brewing some Kolsch soon so if you could get both 2565 and 2575 strains that'd be great.
