Good point. My plan was to use them during a closed transfer with hops still floating not necessarily in a keg. That defeats the purpose of the product. Thanks for the heads-up.

Ah ok. I use this for transfers. Only had it clog a couple times, but it comes apart in seconds

The Spelt I will use this Summer in my once-a-year Saison (the one where I throw cut up lemons into the mash :)). This Spelt has a very high protein content and is great for foam and head retention, and it has a bit more flavor than Wheat Malt, nuttier with a pinch of clove. It's a great malt that I wouldn't hesitate to use in any beer that calls for Wheat.

I have some strange plans for the Pale Corn. I'm going to use this malt in a lager that will pay tribute to Mexican street corn. With a base of Pilsner, I am going to oven-bake the Corn and ferment with a Mexican lager yeast, probably Baja. Then serve with a slice of lime in the glass. How much corn will go into the oven, at what temperature, and for how long has yet to be determined. But I'll be looking for some color and a bit of toast/roast flavors. That beer is about 1-2 months away and I'm sure I'll be posting about it when the time comes.

Thanks for the overview on the spelt very cool!
Looking forward to your corn roasting.

Funny reading on malting your own corn not many suggested going past the basic kiln temp so I'm keen to see how your korn roasts out.:)

Nothing ventured nothing gained eh;)

Deer Creek actually offers a Toasted Corn Malt that they describe as having gone through the "Munich" kilning process. Unfortunately, when I went to order it, they didn't have any in stock. So, I said what the heck, might as well roast it myself. I asked the in-house brewer at Deer Creek what he thought of my idea and he said he hasn't ever tried it himself and wished me good luck. :p As a trial run, I think I'll roast just a few ounces of corn first, then mill it and "mash" it in a coffee cup. See what color/flavor/aroma I get. Then I'll take my best guess when I set the recipe.

This is the kind of fun stuff that keeps the juices flowing!

You sound just like @Trialben there :p
If we can't buy it, then what the heck, we'll just do it ourselves!
Love it

Sure is :) I will be following your corn toasting procedure for sure @Megary.

I think I read somewhere Munich malt is 150c/ 300f for 120mins but the key is that it's still got 10% moisture content in it before hitting the 150c kiln step
Meaning the malt is still a tad green sorts like making a caramalt but it's a bit dryer so it doesn't stew as much in the oven.

I like the idea of 300F and point taken on the moisture content. I did find this one suggestion on-line regarding the timing: “As soon as you start getting a nutty aroma, get it out”.

Sounds wise. Follow your nose!

Nice haul.

Used omega’s equivalent of ESB, Scottish Ale, and Irish ale and enjoyed the all.

They sell a soda stream adapter for them mini regulators too
Click to expand...
That will likely be my long term solution, but this gets me started with being able to have homebrew at the trailer this summer
 
I can't see properly what brand/type regulator it is, but if it is the new(er) kegland one, then you don't need a soda stream adapter ;)
 
I should say I don’t have the same one. I was saying I can usually push a carbed up small keg with 1 cartridge. I do use the mini regulators
 
Craigerrr said:
Same regulator?
How long do the cartridges last?
I will carbonate with my 10lb tank, just need this for serving at the trailer

I use those with 4lt mini kegs and there's plenty in those small cartridges. Can't imagine needing more than one, or two max, for a fully carbed 10lt keg. Really nice little setup that.
