This is my first post. First I want to thank everybody who participates on this board. I started brewing a couple of months ago (just brewed my 4th batch) and I have gained a lot more from reading the discussions on this board than I did from reading the standard brewing "how-to" books. It amazes me how generous everyone is with their experience and know-how.
I want to brew Walker's IPA that I've heard so much about (recipe as quoted by Yooper Chick https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=19876 ). The procedure will be the most complicated I've tried but I doubt it will be any trouble. The only problem I'm having is finding all the ingredients.
1.5 lb American Crystal 10°L
I've found a lot that sounded similar but nothing exact. On Midwest's site http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByCat.aspx?Cat=237&fd=1 it looks like they are equating "crystal" with "caramel". Is this right? If so, does this (http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=3865) qualify as American Crystal 10°L?
8 lbs Briess Extra Light DME
I've looked high and low and can't find this stuff. Briess's website says they have Pilsen Light and Golden Light but no Extra Light. I have found Munton's Extra Light but will that throw the recipe off? Is it that important to get the exact brand or am I just being too anal about all of this?
Thanks guys!
