I am planning on putting this down next, it uses up a bunch of ingredients I want to go through.
2 x 1.7kg Coopers Pale Ale
500g Dry Wheat Extract in a 5.8l boil (1.040)
60g Motueka pellets: 20g @ 10, 20g @ 0, 20g dry hopped
250g Special B steeped
Brewmaster Premium Ale (S-04)
25l ferment @ 18C
expected O.G. 1.051
expected F.G. 1.013
IBU 37.9
EBC 22.4
5.4%
Any thoughts on the hops? I do have others but for now I want to try the motueka alone. Would splitting the hops 20 / 0 / dry give a balanced representation? I don't imagine I would need any more bittering than the kits already provide so I want to get the most out of the flavour and aroma.
Also given that the boil it is only 6l, should I be topping it up with boiling water from the kettle to make up evaporation? I will be adding the water from the steeped grains so will this be enough?
