We have an expert Malt speaker at brewcon 2015
Chris O'Flynn - Malting Company of Ireland (http://www.maltingcompany.ie/)
We are going to get some questions together to put to him.
Any questions on Malt ??
I guess as someone starting all grain, mine would be.
Best storage for malt- container, temp eg
How long does malt keep fresh for
Do they have plans to offer specialty grains or just stick with their four products.
What are the differences between the different kinds of palt malt out there, e.g. in what ways does MCI malt differ from Minch or Maris Otter? Also what numbers do we need to know about to add a new brand of pale malt such as MCI's into beersmith?

Hmmm ... you'll find some answers on the forum :P (BeerSmith - MCI) (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=3356.0)
Qn: How does a HB'er calculate brewhouse efficiency?
Is there a point at which rinsing more sugars from the grist in a mash risks extracting tannins even if the pH and temperature are in the right range? Or to put it another way, can your mash efficiency be too high?
