This is my third kit. My first was an Amber Ale with additions at 60 mins and 5 mins and 6 lbs of amber extract. It turned out great and is aging nicely at 11 weeks. I drank half of it so far.
My only issue is it is a bit bitter/hoppy. I like maltier beers. When I was in Dusseldorf several years ago I fell in love with Diebels Alt. Unfortunately, I can't get it here in Maryland. So I bought the NB kit but am afraid to use all of the hops as it might get too bitter. Should I leave a pack out? If so, which one? Thanks for any help. This is a great hobby. Here is the recipe.
Specialty Grains
* 1 lbs. Weyermann Caramunich II
Fermentables
* 6 lbs. Amber Malt Syrup
* 1 lbs. Amber Dry Malt Extract
Boil Additions
* 1 oz. Perle (60 min)
* 1 oz. Perle (45 min)
* 1 oz. Spalt (15 min)
If you choose dry yeast
* Safale K-97. Optimum temperature: 59-75° F.
