Hey all... third solo batch time, thought it would be cool to document with pics here. Noobing it up and showing you how easy it is to noob it up as well. We don't need kits and instructions... just a recipe and some ingredients.
This is based on BMs Centennial Blonde extract recipe with some small changes.
Boil size: 5 gal
Batch size: 5 gal (top up after boil to account for evaporation)
6 lbs Golden light DME
1 lb Carapils
.5 oz Centennial pellets
.5 oz Cascade pellets
1 packet Nottingham
Steep carapils in 5 gal water @ 160 degrees for 20 min
Bring to boil add 1.5 lbs DME
.25 oz Centennial @ 45 min
.25 oz Centennial @ 25 min
.25 oz Cascade and rest of DME @ 15 mins
.25 oz Cascade @ 5 min
Cool to 60ish and pitch one packet Nottingham.
Estimated OG 1.055
Actual OG 1.052
Estimated IBUs: ~20
Cost me 30 bucks for everything at the LHBS. I'll have hops left over.
Crushing carapils like a boss. Bonus points for spilling them everywhere.
More to come. Time to make SWMBO breakfast.
To ensure complete noobness... it is important that both your primary and secondary tanks are almost empty.
Well... after a three hour delay due to a kid that would not go to sleep, i'm getting started.
People often ask, "How do you brew with a kid?"
Well, this is how. Get yourself an iPad and a Microwave to time your hop additions.
