I do extract similar to Nick but it's interesting to see how others do it
To me extract brewing is all about specialty grains, I tend to use between 0.3 - 0.8 kg per brew.
Put down an English Northern Brown this morning (after using my spreadsheet)
2.3 kg Light dried Malt
0.15 kg Caraaroma
0.15 kg Carapils
0.20 kg Choc Chic Malt 600
20 g Northern Brewer 60 mins
20 g Fuggles 20 mins
20 g Fuggles Flameout
1 Steep grains in 3.4 litres of water at 65C (kettle holds 1.7litres) for 30 mins.
2 Sparge grains with 6.8 litres (4 kettles) water at 65C
3 Add 1 and 2 to 20 litre stockpot and added 830 g of Light Dry Malt (to bring SG to 1.040)
4 Bring to boil, add Northern Brewer hops.
5 After 40 Mins add 20 g Fuggles
6 After 50 Mins add Whirlfloc tablet
7 After 60 Mins add rest of Light Dried Malt and 20 g Fuggles, flameout
8 Cool in ice/cold water
9 Half fill fermenter with cold water, add contents of stockpot (after removing 2 hop bags, flameout hops not in a bag) and make up to 23 litres
10 I ferment for 7/8 days then rack to secondary with 1tsp of Gelatine disolved in hot water for another 6/7 days.
11 I rack again onto my bulk priming solution, then bottle.
First time using liquid yeast (1099 Whitbread) for this brew.
The above brew should be about 4.2% alc, if you want one about 5% up the DME to 2.8 kg and the Northern Brewer to 22 grams
