Hi everyone, I'm hoping to start brewing with extract soon, and have "designed" a recipe for my first extract brew. I used brewtarget, and it predicted something american stout-ish (according to OG, FG, color, ABV and bitterness).
Homebrewing is somewhat unknown in Portugal (there are 2 HBS in the whole country, and one of them is too far for me) so my ingredient choices are kind of limited (for now).
Here are the ingredients for a 5 gallon batch, do you think it'll be anything worth brewing?
Predicted properties (Brewtarget):
OG: 1.072
FG: 1.018
ABV: 7.0
Bitterness: 45.6 IBU
Color: 72.9 EBC
Brewferm Amber DME - 4.4 lb
Brewferm Dark LME - 3.3 lb
Special B Malt - 1.1 lb
Chocolate malt (no hull) 800ebc - 7 oz
Roasted barley - 0.5 lb
Northern Brewer hops (alfa 10.1%) for bitterness - 2.8 oz
(Any suggestions for aroma?)
wyeast 1028 - London Ale
How long would you recommend for first and second?
Thanks in advance.
