I saw Kristen's comment about the Ashburne Mild, so I am taking his advice on that brand. I may be able to obtain Warminster Mild or Muntons Mild. Could you provide any insight as to how Paul's vs Fawcett vs Warminster vs Muntons Mild Ale Malt would compare in a traditional mild ale grain bill? Any suggestions on the ratio of each? <br /><br />I came across a specification sheet for Paul's Mild Ale Malt for the US market, and it was classified as a Dextrine Malt. Is it possible to substitute any Dextrine Malt, assuming it has a specific flavor profile, for any or all of the four malts I compared above? Could I blend any Dextrine Malt with Optic?<br /><br />Thank you for your assistance.Jim Bankonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-71806924984518970172016-10-19T23:43:14.059-07:002016-10-19T23:43:14.059-07:00George West,

He could only get one bag of mild and then had to use MO for the rest but we made invert and used WLP 013 - came out really nice with a huge amount of esters and a lot of residual bitterness. If anyone still looks at this can they comment as to whether the beer is supposed to be consumed early (as most milds) or was it traditionally consumed several months or longer after brewing (as many high gravity exports)?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080846063921869811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-74250493879235706922011-07-03T16:41:20.335-07:002011-07-03T16:41:20.335-07:00Rain,

However, as a mild malt I find Vienna to be closer than Ashburne. I'm not sure why its called mild actually. U say decent, how so? I'd like to see peoples opinions that have used proper mild and the Ashburne.Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-65429951688156247332011-07-03T12:09:02.815-07:002011-07-03T12:09:02.815-07:00I've used Ashburne Mild before at around 30-40...I've used Ashburne Mild before at around 30-40% with what I thought were decent results. I'd be interested to know why you disliked it. <br /><br />Do you not like it at all, or do you just not think it's a very good example of a mild malt? Or a third thing?castempresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405304308126921468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-41005741950876350452011-06-30T09:34:08.541-07:002011-06-30T09:34:08.541-07:00Bikeraggie,

Store brands like Walmart, ASDA, Aldi, etc are pretty much crap. Of the most widely available Brer Rabbit is probably the worlds. The Plantation brand in pretty good. Organic you usually pay way to much for something thats not better...if it makes you feel good, do it. That being said, I've had friends use feed-grade molasses and it made a really nice beer. If you want to have some fun, try date or pomegranate molasses instead. Works pretty good in low gravity 'mild' ales.<br /><br />As for Thames Valley II, you can really use it for anything although I think it really shines 'bitter' type beers. AK it really shines!Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-91214732741841739292011-06-30T08:22:20.944-07:002011-06-30T08:22:20.944-07:00Kristen, I recently made invert for the first time...Kristen, I recently made invert for the first time, following directions to invert turbinado sugar, and add molasses. That went into my first "Lets Brew Wednesday" beer, the Barclay Perkins 1919X. I am looking forward to seeing how everything turned out, thank you for your work here. In my research I see you suggest to use "high quality blackstrap" but I could never find any brand recommendations. Which do you use?<br /><br />Also, I used the Thames Valley II yeast in that 1919X, this is the first time I have used the yeast. You mentioned you love this yeast, can you provide a suggestion or two as to your favorite beers with this yeast? Any of these other LBW recipes work particularly well?<br /><br />Thank you for your time.Bikeraggienoreply@blogger.com
