TimZ1525228685 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi, I bought a bag of roasted barley to use in an English Bitter (bloody, bloody, bloody brilliant results), and have plenty left-over. Has anyone got experience using it outside of bitters/stouts/porters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I have used it in an Irish Red Ale. Very nice [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT5 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I bottled the Irish Red Ale brew that Coopers had as a pack last week. That used Roasted Barley as well as Crystal Malt. It has only been in the bottle a week, but when I gave a PET bottle the squeeze test it had pressurised up so I had to sneak a stubby to taste today. I know it is still very green (if a red ale can be green! [crying] ) but if this is only going to get better it is going to be a very good drop.

Scottie Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hey Tim I know you said outside of Porters, but if you've got a shed load left then you should have a go at the EB Porter. I also made the Irish Red but mine wasn't so great, I had a strong egg smell during fermentationand then also in the keg. I ended up tipping out 1/2 a keg - perhaps I should di it again without the kit yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
