Just want to thank everyone for their contributions and input on the forum. I've been lurking a while and am going to make the transition from Mr. Beer.
I stopped in my lhbs today and picked up a 3.3 of unhopped lme, 1 oz of hallertau and a pack of dry ale yeast. Going to attempt a cherry wheat with extract. All of the recipes I see for 5 gallons uses 6.6 oh malt extract.
Questions:
Is 3.3 of malt extract enough?
How long to steep the hops and can I add the malt after flame?
Also considering adding honey to the secondary. If that's a good idea how much and should I pasteurize it?
Thanks knowledgeable brewers.
