I'm going to have a go at using un-hopped LME
I like Tooheys old and lots of darker beers and want to get somewhere close to this.
Here is the recipe and output from the spread sheet:
0.75 Coopers LME Dark (half tin)
0.75 Coopers LME light
1.3 KG Light dry ME
0.2 KG Dark dry ME
0.1 Maltodextrine
0.25 Dextrose
Yeast S04 hydrated at 30c stir for 30 min slowly cooling to 20c
Hops
10 litter boil with 1.1 DME added for 1040 SG
Challenger 20 gm @ 25 min
East Kent Golding 20 Gm @ 30 min
Target pitching temp 20c
Target Ferment temp 18-20c
OG 1050
FG 1013
ABV 4.9 in keg
IBU 19.3
Colour 52.5
1 week in fermenter after FG before kegging then age in Keg at ambient temp for as long as it takes for my current keg to be drank.
What do you think? I'm planning to put this down in the next few days after comments and acquiring hops etc...
Questions: Using pellet hops, do you just throw them into the pot or use a fabric filter of some sort?
If using filter should that also go into the fermenter or just the liquid?
