Just finished cleaning up.  I used the recipe that is on the wiki site and got 77% eff. (1.037).  I'm naming this beer Wraith's Ace in honor of just discovering a new hobby, disc golf over the long Thanksgiving weekend.

I wasn't planning on using it, just curious.

I'm talking about this;

Ingredients are: wheat flour and barley extracts, milk, soy lecithin, salt, and sodium bicarbonate.

Maybe it would work in a milk stout?

I haven't brewed a mild in awhile.  So, it'll have to be the SS Minnow Mild from one of the recent Big Brew days.

That is the plan except I am not exactly sure what ingredients I will use but am thinking about a pile of golden promise malt, some crystal 50-60 and maybe one or two more.  Hops being magnum, amarillo and simcoe or whatever else I can find at the LHBS.  Followed up with dry hopping with more amarillo and simcoe. 

This description is very close to the Furious clone kit from Midwest, just bump up the ingredients to your target OG.  This is my favorite IPA, hands down.

11 lbs Golden Promise
1 lb Munich (10L)
4 oz Medium Crystal
mash @154*

1 oz Warrior @ 60 min
blend 1 oz Amarillo/ 1 oz Simcoe
add equal parts @ 20, 15, 10, 5, and 0 min
1 oz Amarillo - Dry Hop
1 oz Simcoe - Dry Hop
1 oz Ahtanum - Dry Hop

Dry Hop 10-14 days into fermentation
Bottle/Keg 7 days after dry Hop

Just two.  But that's enough for me.
