Hi,
yesterday I brew my first beer and I have some questions. (I brew standard wheat beer with both grains and malt extract)
1) I thought I had to add the hops for 10 minutes and then take it out so I put it in a net (the net I used for cooking the grains) and took it out 10 minutes later. I saw someone in a video doing this and the recipes I saw does not mention anything about this. So what did I have to do? Did I do right? Will it taste good?
2) In the same video the man said you can cool the wort by mixing it with cold water (to achieve 5 galons), and I did so and it cooled down to about 45-50C (113-122F) degrees! I sealed the fermenter (the wort container) and after 2 hours it cooled to about 40C degrees and I needed 28C degrees or less so I went to sleep and in the morning (about 11 hours after I finished cooking the wort) I could add the yeast. Is it ok? Will it taste good?
3) Do you have some nice malt extract wheat beer recipes? also any that use oranges?
Thanks very much!
