Last of the Grain Steam Beer
This beer will be made with the last of the grain
from a 55 lb bag of malt that we bought at a
homebrew auction. We have made a brown ale,
a barleywine, a belgian dubbel and a belgian
saison with this grain so far. All great beers.
This should yeild a nice amber beer with a toasty
flavor and a good amount of bitterness and hop
flavor and aroma. The toasted malt really makes
it nice. The previous versions of this recipe were great.
