    we attended homebrew con in providence and I was able to grab a good amount of malt, hops and yeast from the exhibitors. Looking for some recipe ideas from the list below. I generally like all styles, with the exception of intense phenolic Belgian beers. My wife has been requesting a hoppy red beer of some sort lately.

    As few things to note: I brew 5.5 gallon biab batches and get about 75-80% efficiency. I have a bunch of Thomas fawcett golden promise, best Pilsner, Rahr pale ale and great western pale ale malts to supplement below. I’ve also never used cryo hops. Any tips??

    4.5 lb Weyerman barke pils
    3.5 lb Briess blonde roast oat malt
    0.5 lb briess extra special malt 120L
    1.5 lb best red X malt
    12 oz cargil oat malt
    17oz grapefruit amoretti

    Hops:
    2 oz Idaho gem
    6oz bru-1
    2oz Sabro

    1oz Moutere

    4oz bells select centennial

    The following are all cryo hops:
    1oz ahtanum
    3oz ekuanot
    2oz palisade
    1oz loral
    3oz cascade
    2oz chinook

    2oz American oak chips

    3 packages of kveik yeast

    Pale ale malt, red X, and extra special can get you something like a light amber color. You've got hops enough to impart a west coast presence to it, with cascade, chinook, centennial, and ahutanum. My only issue is I haven't used extra special very often; my recollection is it has something similar to a special B presence. I think these west coast style hops could cut through that, but I am not sure how it would play with the other, fruitier hops. I have only used 1 kveik yeast, so far, at two different temps. In the 80s, it imparted a slight phenolic and fruit flavor. in the 60s, I didn't notice it (although at the lower temp, I hopped like an NEIPA, so could have overlooked fruity yeast contribution). For the beer I have in mind, probably would want to ferment in the 60s, but I'd want to know more about the particular yeast.

    That is a nice hual.

    Every year I seem to miss things in the expo. I have other things I have to do, as I'm on the GC.

    Who gave out the Barke Pils malt? The Kveik?

    So, how about the pils, red x and oat malt with a touch of roasted barley for a red ale. Centennial, Idaho 7 and ahtanum for hopping. I would use a clean yeast strain though unless you really wanna try the kveik.

    Hope you didn't take the kveik from the Imperial table...their bags were filled with water. Had lunch with one woman from Imperial and she was amazed how many of their water filled bags were snatched from their table. Some guys can get pretty rabid in their pursuit of the freebie...

    I used the Briess ES malt and Munich 30L in an imperial stout I brewed this past weekend. Also used the Cluster Fugget hop blend for the hopping (early and late hops). Saving the oat malt for an IPA...which I'll also be using Azacca and Amarillo I got. Think that covers all the ingredients I got...although several vendors promised to send stuff, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Barke pils was from weyerman on the last day at the expo.

    Kveik I got 2 packs at club night from bootleg biology (looks like Oslo strain) when i was talking to Michael tonsmeir. The other was “kveik” the world from escarpment labs during the knockout party.

    Never used a kveik strain. Besides ipa, does it do well with other styles? I tried a side by side at the imperial stand with warm fermented vs normal temp with kveik and my wife and I preferred the normal temp by a bit.

    What are everyone’s personal experiences?

    FYI- looks like the Oslo kveik is supposed to produce very clean lager like beers. Might be nice for that hoppy red/Amber with some oats
