Thanks for the replies. I used it tonight in my #3 AG brew. Added the balance from the uncrushed Marris Otter I bought from the Home Brew Company. I gave the old grain a good sniff and it smelled nice and sweet. The new grain had a more grassy smell, but then it would, wouldn't it. I crushed it in my flour grinding mill set for very rough crush to make a total grain bill of 2kg MOtter. The mill did a great job of the crushing - VERY easy in comparison to grinding wheat berries for fine flour which is a good workout if you do a kilo. The rough crush was easy - just spinning with no resistance.
Just finished the process and I'm fermenting it in the wilco 12l pot - hopefully it won't froth over in the early fermentation. The normal FV is already occupied with another batch of table beer. The AG produced 10.5 litres at 1054OG measured at 22c.
Hops:
60 mins 11gr Cascade AA 6.7
60 mins 10gr EKG AA4.6
5 mins 29gr Cascade AA 6.7 (just emptied the packet)
10litres approx
IBU about 40.....
If the brew goes down to 1008 like the last one it will be coming in about 6.1 ABV before carbonation.

Fun hobby.
