So I wanted to make a pale ale that isn't crazy crazy hopy but has a nice drinkable flavor. I got a English Pale Ale kit from my LHBS and what thinking about tweeking it a bit. Here is what I have:
1lb of steeping grains (.50 Crystal 60L and .25 Torrefied Wheat and .25 of somehting or maybe its just .75 lbs of steeping grains)
3.3 lb Briess Gold Light Liquid Malt Extract
2 lbs of Bries DME Brewers Gold
1 oz of fuggle pellets
1 oz of Kent GLDGS pelleets
2 oz of Fuggle Leaf (not with kit)
either nottingham or muntons ale yeast.
So when should I add the hops. I was thinking 2 oz of fuggles total maybe .5 for 60 , .5 for 30, .5 for 15, .5 for 5.
But what about the Kent Gldgs? Are those better finishing or bittering hops?
I want to keep the beer very drinkable and tasty - something of which you could drink 5.
1. So what is a good hops schedule?
2. Should I add all the malt extract at the beginning of the boil?
THANK!
