Hi all,
As my urn has broken and I've run out of beer I'm looking to do a quick stovetop brew to tide me over. I'm looking to use a kit as a base and just add some grain to get a bit of complexity. Never having done a partial before how does this sound
1 coopers dark ale kit
1kg LDME
700g Munich
700g rye
100g choc malt
I plan to do a little mini mash (roughly 5L, minimal sparge) on the stovetop, a quick 30 minute boil with some 25g EKG at each of 15 and 5 minutes. I just have us05 on hand to use tonight as I dont; have time to step up 1084 to pitch tonight. Sound OK? Any suggestions?
I have an old tin of dark ale with a best before of 2008. As I'm ditching the yeast will an old tin be OK or is it worth a drive down to big W for a new one?
Cheers
