Hi guys
I have just been to my LHBS in Manchester to pick up the bits for the following brew (an amber ale similar to Rogers Beer - i hope!!):
- 3kg Light Malt Extract
- 250g Crystal Malt
- 12g Northern Brewer & 12g Cascade hops (60min boil)
- 14g Cascade hops (15min boil)
- 20g Cascade hops (5min boil)
- SAF US56
Anyway, they didn't have Safale US56 so i have come home with Safale S-04. The guy at the homebrew shop hadn't heard of US56 (maybe a pommie thing). Is the Safale S-04 suitable or will it change my beer completely?
Also, I have ended up with 3.2Kg of LME - the extra 200g of LME shouldn't make a whole heap of difference should it??
Lastly, what do people think of the recipe? It is very similar to the last one i made, the only difference is I have substituted the bittering hops from Perle to the 12g of Norhern Brewer and 12g of Cascade. I really enjoyed my last brew, Im hoping this one will be a bit more mellow...
Cheers
