Hi guys,
I've been researching a range of recipe to brew for my brother's upcoming wedding in September and one I have been having trouble with due to lack of experience is a lager? I have a brewing fridge so I'm capable at keeping the temperature at lager temperatures and cold crashing.
So overall I was wondering whether anyone could help me with a recipe, so far I've got:
Batch Size: 20L (Could do 23L if the flavour won't be watery) OG: 1.048 and IBU: 32
1 x Coopers Canadian Blonde/or Coopers Heritage Lager
1kg Light Dry Malt Extract
200g of Carapils
200g of Victory Malt? - Just to add some flavour.
20g of Saaz at 20 minutes
1 or 2 packets of W34/70 Yeast at 12 degrees for 2 weeks then cold crashing for 4 weeks.
I was thinking to go with a kit for this brew mainly since I assumed it may be harder to get an extract recipe to get the right profile.. However I assuming the kits are probably mashed correctly for the style therefore its most likely to create an overall better beer then extract along. If I had the time and right sized pot I would do an all grain batch, but currently I'm fairly busy with Uni.. So I'm hoping to get this brewing this weekend so I can have it bottled and tasting great by September.
Also was wondering whether I should use 500g of LDME and then 500g dextrose to producer a lighter bodied beer?
Cheers guys,
Harry
