Hi. I went to my LHBS and the man basically picked everything out for me. I forgot to ask, however, if what he gave me would be considered Partial mash or AG. Here's what he gave me...
1/2 wheat/ 1/2 carapils (sp?) (ground up pretty good)
2.5 # wheat (powdered)
1 can malt extract
1 oz boiling hops (also morsels)
1/2 oz finishing hops (little morsels)
priming sugar
packet dry yeast.
Now you can probably tell that this is my 1st time brewing. I'm guessing this is a partial mash, but I'm not quite sure
1)so could you tell me if this is considered PM or AG?
I shouldn't have any problem following directions, I just want to make sure I use the correct directions for what I'm doing.
Now, I also need help figuring out what everything is. when the directions say add grain/extract/ etc., I'm not quite sure exactly what they are talking about. My bags aren't labeled so clearly, they are labeled just as I labeled them.
2) So could you please just help me figure out the order the ingredients get used, or just what the they would be called in a set of instructions?
3) one more thing, I wanted to add some fresh cherries to add a little flavor (cherry wheatish hopefully). How/how much/when/how long should I add it?
Thank you so much.
