I've brewed it using 2lbs of flaked oats, it was just as good

Adjust for your water chemistry. Mine is perfect for dark beers right out of the ground (Well water)

Yes, carafoam is replacing the oats. If you want the real deal, make that jump to AG brewing. You won't regret it at all. If it's an equipment thing.. BIAB solves that problem. That's what I do.. I have the ability and equipment to do a 3 vessel batch sparge AG brew but BIAB works just as well...

I use quick oats from the grocery store all the time. Sometimes I toast them, sometimes I don't. Naked oats should be fine as well

This would be perfect in my home brewery

yes that's it exactly... but it's not 1kg of honey. that's 1lb of honey.. or 0.4536kg

You can sub the Pale malt with either DME or LME in the appropriate amounts to equal the grain (4.75 lbs for DME and 5.8lbs for LME according to BeerSmith2)... then steep the carraaroma and melanoiden.. skip the carafoam if ya want. Keep in mind that it won't be the same beer.. Extract is...

awesome looking beer! :mug:

I've never used that yeast but at 7.3% it'll be a little hot and it'll mellow out in time

give it time... I've had beers that had a tartness to them young but a few weeks later were perfect

no harm at all in raising the temp

funny how accidents can turn out awesome. as far as harvesting the yeast and expecting the same results. possibly but there is no way to ensure you have an even mix of the 2 strains. Its always worth a shot though!

120 is fine... Caraaroma is closer to 130L... the listed subs are crystal 120 and Belgian Special B

120 is close to Caraaroma.. not quite as red. carafoam and carapils are the same thing.. there isn't really a sub for melanoiden/melanoidin malt... there isn't really a substitute for that. you'll make a decent beer but it'll be lacking in some of the red coloring. Munich might get some of the...

lol... if you follow the original recipe, it'll be more than red enough..

awesome.. make converts out of those bud light drinkers!
