Hard to find Grains
Hey just thought to check if anyone would be able to part with a Kg or 2 of "Special B malt, and Carafa III "
I can't get this stuff through NG right now, and I guess someone came in and bought the last of their Special B a few weeks back.
Willing to either buy or trade for Golden Promise.
Cheers!!

Re: Hard to find Grains
I don't have any to trade, but I know the Carafa III is available on special order. I think it takes them a week or so to get it in.
As for the special B, I don't know if they've had that for quite a while. Brewers Pantry has it though, and they take about a week for delivery. I've ordered hops through them and haven't had a problem http://brewerspantry.com/index.php?rout ... uct_id=136" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hope that helps a bit if no one here is any help.

Re: Hard to find Grains
I've got our NCM special b substitute, as well as the blackprinz, which is a good sub for Carafa III iirc. If you are interested, let me know

Re: Hard to find Grains
I don't need any grain in return. I'll just work out the cost, won't be much.
I think the munich 120?/240? is the SB sub. Check the catalogue. And root around for info on the Breiss Blackprinz, they have good info on their home site IIRC.

Re: Hard to find Grains
I'm interested, looks like the Blackprinz will work alright, and some special b sub. I was interested in making a Black IPA, not sure if I will be able to today due to not having those grains but when might I be able to snag some ?

That substitute for special b is likely Caramel Munich 120 which is a crystal malt

Re: Hard to find Grains
Change of plans at this end. I have to work an overtime shift tomorrow, so I won't be up until later Wednesday night (hopefully, depending on the storm). I hope this doesn't mess up your schedule.

Re: Hard to find Grains
Next time I am in the city I'll give you a PM, if you still have some then I would love to grab a little. I plan on making a Schwarzbier so I probably don't need a whole lot, but I don't have a recipe yet.NASH wrote:I could spare a littlemgc wrote:Anyone have any midnight wheat they could spare?I use it instead of Carafa III.

Any possible chance that I might be able to trouble you for some of the same substitutes ?

Re: Hard to find Grains
Yeah sure but I don't have Special B or the Caramel Munich 120.
I stock crystal 150 which isn't the same but reasonably close
