Howdy from Denver.
So after making my first extract kit (the 80 shillings from northern brewer) I decided I'd give a shot at making my own extract recipe form scratch.
Here it is:
6 lbs of light malt extract
1/2 Lb of German Caramel Red Malt
1/2 Lb of British light crystal
1 oz Citra hops
1 oz Centenial hops
1 pouch safale 04
I will steep the grains on a low simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Add extract off the heat then return to a boil
Pitch 1\2 oz of the citra at the start and the rest 45 minutes into the boil
Chill with a ice water bath to 70-80*
Allow to ferment out for 1-1 1/2 weeks
Rack onto 1 oz centenial and let sit 2-3 weeks
And then bottle and allow to age 2+ months
What does everyone think? I'm really excited to be making a nice fruity light beer everyone I know can enjoy.
