The 2017 Melbourne Grain Bulk Buy

[JB]

Hey there folks, Did anyone end up with a sack of Weyermann Wheat Malt instead of a Weyermann Pale Ale? I ended up with a Pale Ale instead of a Wheat Malt, and I don’t need the Pale Ale at all. Got 3 other sacks of pale to get through

.

Will check when I get home Mardoo

Sorry Mardoo, no bag of Wey Wheat mate.

Massive thanks to MJ, CB and the others who made the bulk buy possible. Was a shame to not be able to make Saturday. HUGE thanks to JB for picking up my malt and babysitting it for me!

Checked my weyerman bag, only the pils I was expecting here I'm afraid.

They're all tucked in & I'm playing them a nice little whales & waves audio clip

Not me sorry, no Weyermann full bags here.
Did CBs invoice have it on there?

Only Wey Pils in my lot too Madhu.

Hopefully, someone comes through with the errant bag. CB didn't order any Wey Wheat during this & I've gone through everything we have left over (unless I've done a "boy-look" ).

Could everyone please do a double-check of what you got to confirm you don't have the stray bag. Andrew checked-off the whole-bags as the pallets were being broken-down, so we SHOULD be right.

 

[Mardoo]

Thanks MartinOC, and those who’ve had a look. There’s one more person who could reasonably have it, so I’m just waiting to hear back from the PM I sent to Wey Pale Ale buyers. If no luck, I’ll just sell it or try to find someone to swap. I want to get going on my 100% wheaten stout idea.

How can you have a 100% wheaten stout? That's kinda oxymoronic....?

If you're doing what I think you're doing, I wish you the greatest of luck & no stuck sparge....

 

[Mardoo]

Another way to say it is a dark wheatwine. I’m planning on doing a clone-ish of Stone’s WootStout, which was fantastic, and got curious about a 100% wheat strong stout. Wheat pale and dark base, caramel wheat, chocolate wheat, roasted wheat. I’m guessing a Weiss yeast will be a bad idea, but I’ll run a side-by-side ferment for comparison. Oh yeah, and a protein rest. Nothing like drinking snot, eh?

 

[Schooner_downunder]

Just checked the Weys bag and no Wheat just Bo Pils.

 

[malt junkie]

Decoction to bring out those caramel favours?

 

[Mardoo]

Great idea!

 

[MartinOC]

I'm guessing you'll need a LOT of rice hulls for that & can deliver 125Kg bales by negotiation...

@technobabble66 TR is a butt kicker, it needs at least 6 months to smooth out, it will though. I'm half way through the bottle at the end of a session I need to be up in the morning so may not make it through the bottle damn it's got a kick!

 

[technobabble66]

@MJ, Thanks for the feedback - most appreciated!
Glad to hear it doesn't appear to have any major flaws, and has some promise.
FWIW, the TR finished at 1.006, but didn't start too high. I think the alc% should be ~5.6%.
I find it can go down very easily even at this early stage, though i wondered about some of the rougher edges of it (given it was intended to have a somewhat higher FG, plus UK esters, etc) - that hopefully it'll smooth out to be a much nicer beer in a few months.
Cheers!

Let me know how the others go!

Perhaps an Imperial Rice Hull Wine is in order.

Big thanks to Malt Junkie and MartinOC! They’re sorting me out for the wrong bag of grain I picked up. Hugely appreciated guys!
