since i'm still new to the brewing game and this is only my 4th brew i did an extract.... heres how it went-
4 gallons water
5 lb extra light extract
2 lb pale malt extract
1 lb corn sugar
hops schedule
90 min boil
1 oz centennial hops (pellets)
60 min boil
1/2 oz zythos hops (pellets)
30 min boil
1/2 oz cascade hops (pellet)
15 min boil
1 tsp Irish moss
Ice bath- temp to 79 f
Top off with 1 ½ gallons of water 1 ¾ cup cane sugar to reach OG of 1.07 at 75 f
1 package of Safale US05 yeast rehydrated in ½ 90 f water
Strained 2 times to remove most of the hops and moss
its in the primary and already starting a good bubble. Any hints or advice? I plan to dry hop in secondary with either cascade or fuggle hops. Which do yall recommend? Is this already hoppy enough without the dry? I have fallen in love with super hoppy beers and i fear i am quickly becoming a hophead thanks to my son and his friends turning me on to IPA
will take pics and give results in about 3 weeks... should be ready just in time to ring in the new year i hope
By the way i am calling it.... Kal-ale after my hero Superman.... i hope is as strong...
