Hi all,
I'm only 4 months in, 4 or 5 K&K under the belt. Just used IanH's spreadsheet to try my first extract brew aiming for a Hop Thief 6 clone. Just bottled and it looks close in colour and taste, obviously not quite the punchy dry hopped smell of commercial hop thief, but its not lacking that's for sure. I'm quite chuffed, can't wait until its carbonated and I can do a proper side by side.
Using the spreadsheet as a guide I came up with the following:
2KG LDME
1KG DDME (Dark dry malt extract, is that the correct acronym?)
0.5 KG Caramunich 2
5g Columbus + 5g Simcoe at 20 minutes
20g Columbus + 20g Simcoe at 5 minutes
30g Columbus + 30g Simcoe at 0 minutes
35g Columbus + 35g Simcoe dry hopped on day 5.
Predicted FG of 1053 and OG of 1013. Actual FG of 1014 so I'm impressed with the spreadsheet!
