Boston Ale Clone, EXTRACT ONLY

DeadSquirrel · 06-20-2006, 07:19 PM

I'm on vacation next week, so I picked up some White Labs East Coast Ale and I've got a freezer full of fresh hops. Just about any kind I could get my hands on.

Now all I need is an EXTRACT ONLY clone recipe. I swear I'm about to start kibbying if I don't get one. I asked around and all I got were all grain options. WHICH DOESN'T HELP. I live in a tiny apt. in the 'hood so there is no way to mash.

I plan on making a Kolsch too. And I'm going to start brewing at midnight. I tried brewing last weekend starting at 6am, and by 8am, it was 95 degrees in my crap apt.

Anything anyone can post would be most helpful.

2 - 1 lb. packages Amber DME
1 cup corn sugar (for priming)
1 oz package Hallertauer hop pellets
1 oz package Tettnang hop pellets

Remove label from Kit and stand in warm water for 15-20 minutes. In a pot sufficient to boil 2 gallons of liquid, empty DME. Open can of malt and empty contents into pot onto DME. Using one gallon hot water, rinse out can and add to pot. Turn on heat and carefully bring to a boil. Add package of Hallertauer hops, Adjust heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

When temperature reaches 80 degrees Fahrenheit, open yeast and sprinkle onto surface of the wort and cover tightly. Place fermentation lock with water in lid. Allow beer to ferment for four days in primary fermenter, Transfer to clean secondary fermenter and allow to ferment for an additional 10 - 14 days. Syphon beer from secondary fermenter into clean bottling bucket. Dissolve priming sugar in a small amount of beer and add to bottling bucket. Fill clean bottles and cap. Let stand for 5 days at room temperature and then move to a cool place. Beer will be carbonated in 3 weeks and will improve for several months.

All grain base malts can be converted to an extract equivalent. What was the recipe?

As a side. What is kibbying?

Okay stupid question, when you add hops for 0 minutes, what exactly do you do? Do you just add the hops and then leave it in while you cool the wort? Or do you dry hop it in some way?

i turn off the burner, throw the hops in there, quickly cover the pot, then place the kettle in an ice water bath and start cooling. Its like a simulated dryhop. You could also just dry hop an ounce or so too.
