i was going to attempt a recipe and had a question about if i need to add sugar or not
pale malt 2-row, 1lb
crystal 40L, 1lb
light pure malt extract, 3.3 lbs
cascade hops to boil, 60 min.
hallertau hops in finish boil, 5 min.
safale us-05 yeast
so im wondering if i should/need to add dextrose to this to get a decent alcohol content? if i do add, should i add it when i add my malt extract or when?
also, does this recipe look decent for a first time brew? im going for an ale and hallertau seems to be better with other brews from research, but this was an old recipe i found that it called for. the recipe originally had different measures and was all grain, but i was going to attempt with the malt extract (3.3lb). so should i add sugar and when should i do it?
