I was listening to this episode of the Sunday Session http://thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/991 & they interviewed Damian McConn. A Kildare lad who is head brewer at Summit in Minnesota.

Pretty good,interesting that they do a endosperm decoction mash. Must be tricky to get the crush just right to be able to remove the husks for adding in later. :)

The interview on the Sunday session is very interesting too. He goes into great depth about using different UK malts, session beer brewing & how modern US malts are too modified & have too much protein. He also talks of doing a Munster stout & importing malt for it from MCI.
