Chils, anyone, do you know the potential gravity points from this malt? Cannot find a decent malt analysis on this malt. Otherwise will go with same yield as their standard Boh. Pils malt.

37PPGI get high yield from this malt. Typically get 75-80% efficiency from most malts. I get 90% from floor malt on my 3 step infusion mashes.

Thanks man. I won't be doing a 3 step. Probably do a 10min protein rest at 131 or so then direct fire to my sacc. rest temp. 

 

BTW how's your jaw doing? Recovery?

I'm screwed. Re broke it 2 weeks ago. I was feeling good and got back on the bike. No problems on the ride but it broke later the same day at work. UGH!

####! If I remember you do PT? How the hell did that happen? Sheee-it man, sorry to hear. What next?

Yeah, I'm a hospital PTA. I think the jarring of the ride cracked what union was occurring. I was just walking out of a patients' room and the jaw spasmed and kicked out to the side. I went back to the doc, he shot another x-ray and it showed to be broken worse than in the crash.He said no action is necessary b/c the jaw is located well and my bite is good. The original crash happened 8-15. The jaw is still very unstable since the last break and shows no signs of joining. I'm about ready for a second opinion.

FWIW. Ken, JP and others who know New Glarus Two Women Country Lager. I actually read the bottle description today and it says on it that they use Weyermann floor-malted pils malt for this beer. After I drink down some of my current stock I'm gonna need to buy some and try it again for the first time in a while.

chils, To avoid continued hijack of the other thread…. I definitely got the waxy layer on the top of the spent grains. It did not give me any issue with draining fortunately. The wort tastes amazing. I also got better that expected efficiency from this by about 3 points which was 80% into the kettle and pretty good for a BIAB batch this size. One other thing, the wort looks a little clearer than usual after draining the bag. I wonder if that is from the protein rest? It was only 10 minutes.

Not sure on the clarity. I was wondering if you'd get the eff boost I've seen. That malt is the only thing that has ever had a stuck runoff in my tun due to that waxy cap save for 1 batch where I used 3lbs of pastry flour and no rice hulls.It makes for a very tasty beer. Taste the raw grain and you will find that it carries over to the finished beer.

Yeah the raw grain tasted good maybe a little more robust than regular pils? maybe a little honey/cracker like for lack of better terms?

 

The clarity is subtle and may just be in my head. There is also a little more liquid than usual due the 90 min. boil I'm doing.
