Ok I have been slowly gathering all that I will need to try my first brew.
I want to make a nice amber ale, maybe with a hint of citrus or fruit to it.
So I chose my extract:
Bierkeller Malt Extract Amber.
Now this is unhopped, so I need to buy hops.
Someone please recommend a hop for me and also when to use it.
I would assume that during the boil I would add the hops, actually near the end....how much hops?
Also when to add the fruit....also in the boil?
I plan on bottling from the fermenting bucket directly, do I need a filter or anything?
Thanks in advance!
