I've done two batches from extract kits, and I wanted to try one with my own recipe. I was hoping some of you could take a look at my plans and give some advice. I'm getting the ingredients from midwestsupplies.com
Ingredients:
6 lb Briess Gold LME
1 lb Honey Malt Specialty Grain
1 lb Clover Honey
2 oz. Hallertau Hops
I'll steep the honey grain in 3 gallons of 150 degree water for 20 minutes. Then bring to a boil and add malt extract, bring back to a boil and add 1 oz. of hops. After 30 min, add another oz. of hops and end boil. After wort is cooled below 80, I'll strain, add water to make 5 gallons, and pitch yeast. I was going to use Rogue Pacman, as it seems a lot of people like that type.
Should I use some dry malt extract?
Do I need more hops?
This is going to be kind of an experiment/learning experience, but I was hoping if anyone sees something really wrong with this please let me know.
Thanks..
