- Tasting Notes
- Perfect. I would probably use a lighter extract next time.
Extract:
7lbs Breiss Light Malt extract (would use extra light next time)
Grain:
8oz American Crystal 10L
8oz English Vienna
Steeped in grain bag in seperate pot; added to boil after 30 mins
Hops:
2oz Amarillo (7.1%AA)
2oz Columbus (9.4%AA)
2oz Centennial (7.3%AA)
Schedule:
2oz Columbus, 1/4oz Amarillo, 1/2oz Centennial @ 90 mins
Added extract @ 20mins, along with 1/4oz Amarillo. Adding extract later in the boil helped extract more alphas from the hops. I think it made a big difference
1/4oz Amarillo, 1/4oz Centennial @ 15 mins
1/4oz Amarillo, 1/4 Centennial @ 10 mins
Threw in 1oz Amarillo, 1oz Centennial in secondary and left bag in while on tap! Tasted sooo good. Possibly the best extract beer I have done.
