Is MCI Lager malt considered the same as the listed UK pils malt? Being a base malt that would help a lot.

Original gravity = 1.074

Lads I can sort all that CaraMunich if you want. Have 10kg left over from a batch.

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

Don't buy anything yet! We'll buy what we need in one go, and I don't think we're using WLP655 this time.

When is that then? This beer sounds like it's going to be epic!

Looks class lads. Hopefully us NCB's so something similar for barrel no.3 or 3 Will be handy having someone about a year ahead of us to compare with. I have a demi of Alt with WLP 655 pitched thats 4 months in now so check in in another month or 2 and report in.
Could be a nice starter for a big batch.

What's happening to the sour mix?

[imark]

I think Christmas has distracted progress on this. Hopefully get a plan together soon.

[imark]

Just want to check if all you guys are willing to use a sour mix to ferment? I may have a culture for Oud Bruin that would make this 'epic!'

It means sacrificing a bucket and any other plastic that comes in contact to the church of sour though. Feelings on this?

[delzep]

You'd "ruin" a siphon and paddle as well yeah?

[imark]

I wouldn't reuse any plastic that came in contact with the culture for a non-sour. So if you're using a plastic paddle in the fermentor it would be best to dedicate it to sours only to be on the safe side.

[delzep]

So  new hydrometer, siphon, trial jar and paddle (as well as bucket obviously) would be needed?
