I have been playing around trying to find a style of beer I like and can call my own thing.
Lately have tried using Coopers Canadian Blonde and Morgans Canadian Light as a base to start.. and add grain and hops to, to get that easy light style
bitter beer I like to drink.
But now want to get a bit more adventurous before going all grain... (one day).
I have come up with this and would like to hear from you guy's if I'm wrong in any department. Understanding it may not be your style of nectar.
I have used Kit and Extract spreadsheet to help with this and get approx final readings.
1 x 1.5kg Coopers Light Malt
1kg Light Dry Malt
500g Carapils
200g Light Crystal
50g Super Alpha (Dr Rudi) Hops
12g Galaxy Hops
Safale US 05
Steep grains for 30mins in 2.5 litres of water at approx 2.5 litres of boiled water.
Sparge drained grains with hot water to make up around 5 litres of liquid.
Bring liquid to boil and add Super Alpha hops @30 mins.
flame out and add Galaxy hops to liquid.
Add to fermenter and mix DME and can of LDM to combine.
Make up to 23 litres and when cooled to correct temp, add yeast.
Bulk prime and bottle.
Should get around 5.1 alc when finished which is slightly high.
I could add some dry hops during fermentation but will wait to see what everyone says.
Predicted OG 1.042
FG 1.006
IBU 35.8
EBC 8.9
Thoughts? :chug:
