Hi guys
A while back I brewed up a delicious red ale from a kit and I'm looking to convert a KIT to an all grain / hops schedule.
Obviously I don't know what's actually in the kit, but here's what I DO know about the kit:
Stats of KIT ONLY in a 23L batch:
EBC: 6.0
IBU: 13.9
I could probably more or less figure this out from the kit specs, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see what people came up with. Maybe someone's already done it with this kit!?
I don't care about lessons on hitting the "technical" specs eg IBUs because I can do this... I just wonder what hops etc might have been used to achieve.
FULL RECIPE!
20 litres
EBC: 27.5
IBU: 30 (estimate)
ABV: 5.7 (6.1 in bottle)
OG: 1.057
FG: 1.018 (seems high but it's just how it finished)
1 x 1.7kg Black Rock IPA
1 x 1.7kx Black Rock amber unhopped liquid malt extract
150g chocolate malt steeped
200g dry malt extract
25g Amarillo @ 0 mins, no chill rest for 15 minutes (equals approx a 10-15 minute addition)
Mangrove jack's english ale yeast
