It smells like… VICTORY!!!
as in Victory malt? How is it? I’ve been tempted to use it for the name alone, but haven’t…
I like the beers I have made that used Victory and in fact now I just keep some around
so it is available if the urge showes up to brew a beer using Victory.
I’ve got an IPA fermenting now that was about 70% Munich, 20% special aromatic, and the rest Victory. I think Victory has a kinda toasty, slightly nutty flavor.
This was a goofy reference to “Apocalypse Now”, but I do like the Victory malt. But I’m brewing at the moment, and my kitchen smells like mashed grains. I truly love the aroma. (Though the rest of my family is still undecided on this issue)
Time to upgrade the family! ;D
I like Apocalypse Now… and Victory malt. I use about 5% in my APA, and it definitely lends a nice toastiness to the beer.
I need to brew… Got a jar of yeast in the fridge (Trappist) not sure if and what I want to do with it… So speed reading “Yeast” over the next 24 hours…
Victory malt: it’s better than napalm! New marketing slogan?
I use victory in just about any APA, IPA and AAA. It’s a great accent malt. I also love the smell of mash. There’s a brewpub across the street from my office and I can smell their mash every thursday when they brew. Makes me a little jealous!
May I suggest for your trappist yeast this incarnation…
