Hi everyone! First post here.
I got a Mr. Beer for xmas but have already moved past using the Mr. Beer kits.
I've found this recipe that sounds pretty good:
Ingredients:
0.5 lbs amber crystal, steep until boil
6 lbs. English light malt extract: boil 60 min.
1 oz. Galena (11% a.a.): boil 60 min
1 oz. Willamette whole leaf hops (4% a.a.): boil 10 min.
1 oz. Willamette: put in nylon hop bag and pour the hot wort over it in
Procedure:
You can carry the hop bag over into the secondary if you rack. This English brewers is so fast it really finishes before you need a secondary. If you do rack, or when you bottle, the hop nose will hit you like a baseball bat. Oh, its good.
I bought the necessary ingredients from Brew and Grow (5 minutes from my house ):
Malt extract
Crystal
Galena
Willamette
But I noticed that the recipe doesn't call for any yeast!? Does this seem normal?
Also, it doesn't have very good directions such as how much water, when to add the ingredients etc. I've found several websites for extract brewing instructions but they are not specific to this recipe of course.
How would you brew this beer?
Keep in mind all I have is the Mr. Beer equipment so I am going to do a half recipe (2.5 gallons).
Thank you for all your help and this site rules!
