This thread has two purposes,
1. to help me choose what hops for my first extract
2. To get some members to list some hop combos,
whether it be thier favourite or just combos they have had success with.
not looking for recipes, just some popular combos that will help beginners
have an idea about what hops might compliment each other etc.
So to number one, my first extract day off on Wed. and have ordered some stuff
from the net. (no shops)
3kg llme Morgans master malt extra pale.
200g maltose
250g caramel malt steeped 20min. (that is what you all call cystal yeah?)
yeast us-05
Hops
Nugget 20gms 13.6% @60
saaz 15gms 3.5% @40
sazz 15gms @10
now as for the hops the nugget @13.6% is quite high would that be too many grams?
too bitter?
other ingredients I have that could be substituted are,
1kg LDME
1KG MDME
cascade hops 100g pellets 5.7%
morgans tea bags finishing hops
2 x pride of ringwood
2 x tettnanger
any tweaking would be helpfull. should I reduce the LLME and add some DME?
then onto #2 please members give us noobs some great hop combos.
