I still have probably 7 or so pounds of something that I'm pretty sure was rb from 2009!!!! Actually do any of you guys from that group buy have any info on what was ordered? I seem to remember it might have been called black malt instead of rb.

But should I use this stuff? Since it's not pale malt I'm not sure I could tell by chewing it.

I thought it was roasted barley and I would still use it if it smelled fine.

still smells nice and roasty in the bucket.  I just wish I could find that old order to confirm what it was called.  at the time I wasn't very knowledgeable about grains.

I was just looking to find the specific brand and name.  We were saying RB in a generic sense.  I'm trying to find it on that page.  Nice find by the way!

what got me started on this thread was I had some alchemist beelzebub imperial stout.  it was SUPER roasty.  now I'm wondering if I wouldn't like to make a stout with A LOT of RB.

Funny, I was just talking to a guy at work that had that and said it was too roasty.

it was only recently that I realized dark malts (RB, chocolate, etc.) are not very fermentable.  so I would make a stout and I'd use RB and dark crystal malts and stuff like that and wonder why the FG was high and the beer seemed kind of sweet.  I wasn't thinking about how the sugars from RB don't really ferment out.  I think on my next stout I'm going to just nail it hard with RB and a little chocolate malt and leave the crystal out entirely.  crazy?
