With just what we have we could make something nice, like a Kolsch, cream, or blonde ale--we've never done one of those before, and we have the grain to give it a shot. And it's definitely a good summer style. <br>

Uh, so I asked my brother and he said he preferred a more summer beer. Is there one you guys would like to do that can use the grain I have? Sorry to change my mind<br>but I figured I'd ask him since he'll also be drinking it and I don't currently have a strong preference (I'm still learning about the different kinds of beer).<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

The chalk addition is pretty much a necessity, as it will greatly aid conversion efficiency, but the salt addition is optional.

</div>Tuesday and Thursday are good for me. Thursday a bit better (work at 7<br>
a.m. Wednesday vs "do a good deed for hcoop lest the guilt set in" for<br>
Friday).<br>
<br>
Now, for that there recipe ... Steve designed and has brewed a mean<br>
Oatmeal Porter so I'll let him explain...<br>
