Hi guys,
Anyone ever brewed the stout from the Palmer book? At the moment I am in the middle of a run of 4 brews based on Palmer recipes, I've just done the Amber, I'm planning the the Brown the weekend after next (ingredients all ready) and then the Porter and Stout in Nov.
The Stout recipe is more or less (i've slightly adjusted amounts and subbed Fuggles out for Mt Hood (because I have that in the freezer):
pale ale 3.5kg
crystal 60 500g
roasted barley 250g
flaked barley 250g
Nugget 20g @60
Mt Hood 30g @30
Thing is, over here I am struggling to find a supplier for flaked barley. Or to even work out what it is. I can get Carafa special de-husked barley
(http://eshop.sladovna-kounice.cz/Ba...arafa-Special-from-dehusked-barley-I-d154.htm)
But not sure its the same thing, think I'd need to manipulate it in some way.
Wondering what the effect on the brew would be of removing the flaked barley and doubling up on the roasted barley? Or removing it and adding like extra 100g pale, 100g crystal 60 and 50g roasted barley or something similar?
Cheers!
