Hello, I am a relatively new brewer who started on extract kits. This will be my fourth brew, and I was wnodering if anyone could offer some feedback on this recipe. To me, it looks on paper like a lot of ingredients. But, I am going for a complex dark stoutish beer, with some decent hoppyness to it. I will be doing a 60 min boil for hot break, and steeping my specialties.
1 Coopers Stout Hopped Extract Kit (not adding to my boil until the last minute to avoid ruining the existing aroma hops in the kit)
1 kilo Dark DME
454g Demerera Sugar
270g Crystal malts (80L)
270g honey
270g molasses
270g chocolate malts
100G Black patent
5G Instant coffee at 1 minute boil
.250G instant oats into boil
Hops (I only have these kind available to me at the moment)
15G Green bullet at 60 min
10G Green Bullet at 30 min
10G Northern Brewer at 30 min
15G Green Bullet at 15 Min
10G Green Bullet dry hop to secondary
Anyway, I hope its clear what I am going for. I am just looking to see if I may be making any fatal errors here to avoid wasting all my ingredients and dumping the brew. Of course, just trying it will be fun too. But its always interesting to ask.
My yeast is just coopers ale yeast in the gold packet, but I have the option of using a local microbrewerys ale yeast that they culture on premisis also. They brew a porter, an IPA, and a barleywine with the same yeast.
Thanks,
Jeremy
