Barley Literates

We had a good showing at the last meeting of 19 members. The meeting was outside and the weather was perfect even if it was a bit noisy.

Ask a Brewer? Q: What type of beer to brew when it’s hot out? A: Belgium or a Saison, of course!

Dwayne handed out club business cards, they look great! On the back is an invitation to come to the meeting with information. So sign the back before you give it away.

We added 2 more new members to the Barley Literates! Welcome aboard!

Ask A Brewer – Q: What is the best milling consistency for all grain brewing? A: It all depends on what you are brewing. Belgiums are less crushed so it won’t stick in the mash and filter. Yo want to just “bruise” (crack) the grain. There is also a difference between grain size and efficiency of the water rinsing the sugars from inside the grain. A standard 0.049 gap between the rollers is recommended.
