This is the second of 2 experiments on base malts. Yes its not what you'd expect for a malt experiment, high IBU and some pretty flavor tweaking special malts. But I dont really care what the base malts 'taste like by themselves' as much as how they taste in my favorite brews, IPA's :) All ingredients are kept common except the main malt bill. American Rahr 2 row, Experiment 2 will be German Munich Malt. There was supposed to be an Experiment 3 with English Maris Otter but I used the malt mix to create double bypass, a Bells 2 Hearted clone-ish. Ill report back after making and tasting all of them.
Kegged 9/20, Delicious, great malt flavor, hoppy but not over the top. The cascade dry hop for 3 weeks added a nice touch!
So far of Munich, Rahr 2row and Maris Otter gotta say Munich is coming out on top. Ill set up a proper tasting and report back shortly.
