So I went to my LHBS and picked up a recipe to do a extract/steep version of this beer as it sounds delicious. I have a few questions that i'm unsure of...
The ingredients I have:
6 lbs extra light DME
1 lb vienna malt
1 lb crystal 10L
6 oz of 7.5 cascade pellet hops
recipe calls for 1 oz hop additions at 60 minute, 10 minute, 5 minute, and 1 minute and additional 2 oz in secondary.
The recipe calls for 6 oz of 5.5 cascades. The shop only had 7.5 cascade available so I picked up 6 oz of that. The recipe is for a full boil and i'm only doing a 3.5 gallon partial boil.
how much of the hops should I use?
Should I steep the grain at the normal 30 minutes at 150 degrees?
Am I just going to add the hops to the secondary loose?
How do I prevent the transfer of the hops into my bottling bucket?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
