Hi Guys,
Looking at doing my first unhopped extract recipe soon and thinking of trying a Balter XPA style clone
Found this recipe here - https://homebrew-recipes.com/balter-xpa-clone/ which I'm using as a base/starting point but was thinking of changing a couple of things based on what is more easily available for me ingredients wise. Would appreciate some thoughts/feedback from more experienced brewers
1.5kg thomas coopers light liquid malt extract
1.5kg thomas coopers wheat liquid malt extract
500g light dry malt
Will steep 150g of specialty grain - either wheat or maybe crystal? Or something else that would be better suited to this style? Wondering if doing the wheat grain would be too wheaty with the wheat liquid extract as well?
Will do a partial boil (approx 10L) and follow the hop schedule from the link above;
15g Citra - 60min
15g Centennial - 10min
15g Citra - 10min
15g Centennial - 0min
15g Amarillo - 0min
Boil will use just the light liquid malt extract - will add the remaining extracts at flameout - or even straight into the FV - 23L batch
Have put it all into the Kit & Extract Beer Designer spreadsheet which all looks OK - estimated OG 1.049, FG 1.1012 - will use US05 yeast
Cheers,
Pete
