Hi all,
Need some opinions on whether i should do a kit and bits, or an extract brew, for my English Brown Ale attempt.
I have seen one extract recipe on the site, but mostly kits with variations on hops, liquid malts some with Morgans Caramalt, and grain steep either crystal, or choc malt, or a combo.
Out of eleven odd brews i have done a few that were ok but from the first tastings i knew they should have had more of this, or none of that, and was stuck with all that beer that wasn't bad enough to tip out but drinking it over the decent beer was an effort.
So i was tempted with my recipe as well, to maybe do a split batch, with 100% crystal steep and maybe golden syrup or treacle in one, and choc malt or a 50/50 choc and crystal, and some belgian candi sugar in the other.
Whichever turns out best i would run with next time..... anyone else done split batches to fasttrak recipe refinements?
Maybe i just need a good recipe?!
Thanks in advance
Mick.
