I need some suggestions for re-stocking my brew pantry...
I'm moving away from using kits, because I want to have a little more control over the recipes. I've found a shop here in adelaide (www.brewmaker.com.au) that sells stuff in bulk. My idea is that I get a good variety of ingredients to make a range of styles, from lager and pales to the occasional dark ale.
The following is what I'm thinking of getting for fermentables and hops. Are these good versatile hops to use, and is it enough weight?
- 28 kg light LME
- 250 g saaz
- 250 g hallertau
Specialty grains is where I'm a little stuck.
(1 kg each of):
- CaraPils
- Crystal (maybe 2 kg)
- Chocolate
Or another combination of specialty malts
(1 kg of each)
- caramalt
- caramunich
- caraAroma
- carafa
+ 2 kg of dextrose
It will cost a little over $200 but it will save around $10 to $15 a batch.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Cheers.
