I don't get it, are you guys not seeing the d? I think I've discovered a test for colour blindness.

oh we see it, but it's darker than the other letters and looks like it's GuingeRock's Keg Conditioned Gay Day Blond Ale.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Researched two new styles (new to me) yesterday and designed a couple of beers to brew. Spent the best part of the day on the couch with books and a laptop.

I can't understand why the cali common style guidelines want the colour to be so dark, when the colour of the normal grain bill isn't. Why add dark grains just for colour? Oh well, never mind, go with the flow I suppose.

I had to put a little crystal in both of these

Hope your doing a big dipa for that barley wine and letting it sit in the keg for a year untouched.

GuingesRock · Post by **GuingesRock** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 9:53 am

I'm going to bottle it and leave it in the basement. Some of it might last out the year, depends how drinkable it is

Like a DIPA but has DME (28%) instead of dextrose, to augment the grain bill and get the OG up.

Use a larger grain build.

I know, but in Ray Daniels' book (Designing Great Beers), he analyzes recipes of barley wines that made it to the 2nd round of the NHC and 59% of them used some extract. There is a discussion in his Barleywine chapter.

GuingesRock · Post by **GuingesRock** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 11:12 am

....but, I think you might be right. I'll have another look at it. Thanks.

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 11:19 am

Well 41% of then had it right. I don't think extract is your thing and have the skill set not to using it.

GuingesRock · Post by **GuingesRock** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 11:45 am

I can do it! 39lbs of grain for 10 gal batch, OG 1.1. Full volume mash volume 19 gal (I have a 20 gal mash pot). I think the 59% were using extract because their systems wouldn't handle that size mash.

LiverDance · Post by **LiverDance** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 11:50 am

I use extract in all my barelywines. Keith extract has nothing to do with your skills as a brewer, like all other ingredients it has it's place and is very useful.

Post by **Jimmy** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 11:55 am

Nothing wrong with using extract to bump up the OG. Not sure what's an acceptable percentage, but I'm thinking if I did a 1.1 beer, I'd likely do ~1.075 and top up with extract to get to 1.1.

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 1:40 pm

Brian, I've always noticed a odd flavor when using extract that I didn't get once I moved to all grain. Possibly cause I was using 100%?
