500g dex

so rolled oats... that is normal uncle toby's garden variety rolled oats??

yes, just plain old porridge oats.

bobbioli, the best nut brown I ever made was with dark liquid malt, for color as well as flavour.

Now since Coopers has stopped the nut brn can someone give me a good alternative. I have never made the dark ale but I imagine it is quite diff

Nah, its pretty straight fwd, I just don't have a good recipie, they are OK, just not great, I think UC1 has a couple

BTW, did you find a good local HBS your way? Was talking to some folks from St John who go to Halifax to get their goods.

by **yardglass** » Thursday Dec 22, 2005 9:33 am
