Hi All. This is my first post! Ok to the point:
I have started loving American style beers lately, and with none generally available to the public here in SA, I have decided to make my own. I am a beginner, so bear with me.
My idea is to take a kit blonde and then hop it to make it more American.
I have:
1 x Coopers Canadian Blonde kit
100 grams Cascade hop
50 grams Southern Brewer hop (South African bittering hop)
50 grams Saaz hop
1 x 11 gram sachet of US-05
A generic brew enhancer. (looks like it contains LDME and Glucose, but not sure)
I plan to make a hop tea for the Cascade, but not sure how much to use for that tea. I wouldn't mind using my other hops too, what would you suggest?
I am not going to boil the kit, just the hop tea.
Any advice?
