I've done an all extract one trying for a generic euro lager
3kg LDME
0.3kg Dex
30g Tettnang and 20g Saaz @ 45mins
15g Saaz @ 30mins
15g Saaz @ 5mins
Beersmith gives OG 1.053 and FG 1.013 for 23L ABV 5.1%. Mine came out to 1.057 - 1.013 so I'm guessing only 21-22L or slightly off OG reading. Got kegged last Saturday so not tasted it yet.
Is an extract the next step to take when you have got the hang of kits?
And I suppose theres slightly more equipment involved.I can see me getting hooked on this brewing thing.
yeah maybe a bigger stock pot, go grab the 20L Big W stock pot for $12 ASAP!!! Best value ever.
Just got the wife to get me one today. 19L. Extracts here I com.... still have 5 Kits in the cupboard though.
use it to make kits and bits.
Chuck the kit in the pot with water to boil off the kit flavour, then add your sugars or brew enhancers to the boil too, and add finishing hops. Have a search for kits and bits.
Thanks. Will do. I have a few coopers bitters I picked up on special been wondering what to do with.
Thanks. Will try that. Will get carrapils to steep and one other steeping grain. Can you recommend any lighter ones?Reon,
