G'day
Just made my first all extract brew. I started with a stout recipe & would appreciate to hear some feed back as to what I could do differently next time:
- 1.5 kg Coppers Dark LME Hops: 14g Super Alpha Hops 60mins
- 1 kg Morgans Chocalate LME 14g Fuggles 45mins
- 250g roasted Barley (steeped for 60mins) 14g Fuggles 15mins
- 200g crystal malt (steeped for 60mins)
- 500g Dried Light Malt
- 250g Brown surgar
Boiled 4.5L water & added coppers & morgans LME (60mins)
Aded DME & brown surgar (45mins)
Added grains to another pot & brought to the boil (kept temp under 70 degrees or It was just too hot putting my finger in water)
Boiled hops in seperate pot
OG 1050
FG 1018
It's been 27 days & I still havent bottled it!!!
If the fermenter is air lock does this matter??
Any feed back would be great
Cheers.
