Recipe Ideas For A Cascade Golden Harvest Kit & Bits

[chappo1970]

AHB'ers,

Need your help please.
I have a 1.7kg can of Cascade Golden Harvest Lager goop that been haunting me... everytime I get close to it I make something else... <_<

Anyway I thought I would bang something together tonight. I have on hand:

Caramalt 2kgs
Crystal 1kg
LDME 2kgs
BE2 2 kgs
Dex 1kg
Incing Sugar (That's here because Butters told me it would improve my brewing)

Hops:
Cascades 180gr
Amo's ?gr
Cluster 100gr
Hallertau ?gr

Yeasties:
Safale US-05
Safale S-04
Saflager S-26


Cheers Boys and Ladies

you could always just the boil the crap out of it and use it as a plain liquid malt addition.

or throw a heap of stuff in there as a ******* lager. and dont forget the kitten extract

sub with cluster and hallertau. leave out the choc grain (maybe a bit of brown sugar?).

strangled Kitten extract :icon_drool2: plus mash a bit of 3 day old road kill... YUM!

Like the idea of an extract but just wanted something down and dirty?

 

[brettprevans]

read my edit for a couple down and dirty good old fashioned K&K

 

[chappo1970]

Kenzie Hop Draught eh?

Got the grains
Got the hops
Got the fermentables

Simple

CM2 your the business mate! Cheers

 

[brettprevans]

umm yeah i edited out the draught as we all know draught is a method of serving not a style. kenzie hop ale. a nice simple hoppy ale. true to form as being simple good old fashioned K&K as it has maltodex and dex in there.


EdIT: aive edit out the 'bought up to 80C'. wtf was i thinking. steep at ~70C is plenty.

yup looks good. nice and hoppy. you got a good bang of hops from the other one but being a bit of a hop head an increase is nice. nice casual drinking ale.
