I have a brew currently keg conditioning and another fermenting. In the mean time, I'm trying to think up what to do next. So far I've been doing straight up extract brews with single hops. As a result, here are some questions:
1. I'd like to get started on the grain side of things, and as far as I can tell, my best starting point is adding specialty grains to an extract brew. Any suggestions as to what? And tips on how would be nice
2. Are specialty grains added to the boil, or do they need to be done separately to the hop boil?
3. At what point does this become "partial" instead of K&B?
4. I have the following hops sitting around (in various quantities)
Amarillo, Cascade and Nelson Sauvin.
I'd like to do something to combine some or all of the above. Would my best be do a single bittering hop, use the 2nd for bittering + flavour and the last for flavour + armoa?
Something like;
NS @ 60
Cascade @ 20
Cascade + Amarillo @ 10
Dry hop Amarillo
I think that's about it. Probably going to go for another APA style beer. Thanks
