Hi All,
Having been doing K&K for the last few months I am ready to step up and try Extract. I have steeped grains and boiled malt/hops in previous Kit recipes to enhance them but never done a full Extract recipe.
My main mis-understanding seems to be with the method and length of boil etc.
What I am trying to produce is a nice refreshing session lager beer (similar to an Aussie Lager in style). I do tend to drink a lot of CD and Broo in hot weather, so something similiar in style would be great (understand this forum isn't about replicating Commercial swell or trying to get an exact replica of a commercial beer).
I have been doing a little searching and believe I have the ingredients, though require some help on the method.
What I am thinking is (please correct ingredients where you believe they should be)
2.5kg Light Malt Extract (Liquid or Dried?)
75g Crystal Malted Grain
500g Dextrose
25g Pride of Ringwood Hops
If somebody could possibly layout a method for the above recipe that would be greatly appreciated. I will be using a large saucepan for the boil. Also should I be adding the grain/hops in a grain bag or just directly to the boil and then straining into the fermenter?
Appreciate the help/advice.
Cheers,
Sam.
