Ok, my neighbor got me into this and I am more than ready to start brewing. I have read "The Joy of Home Brewing 3rd edition" and have a culinary background so following the brewing directions is not the problem. The problem (if it can even be called that) is I am looking to fashion a recipe that will be easy yet challenge me at the same time. Here is a list of what I have:
9 lbs of light Dried Malt Extract
8 oz Kent Goldings Pellet Hops
2 oz Vanguard Whole Leaf Hops
1 package Nottingham ale yeast
1 package Safale S-33 ale yeast
I plan on buying the Steeping grains needed for whatever beer I decide upon from my local HBS as well as my 22oz bottles. I would like to include dry hopping since the beer I like can never have enough hops flavor or aroma. I am lucky that I have a friend and neighbor who will be loaning me his 9 gallon pot and the rest of his tools since his beer is all bottle aging right now. Other things I have include:
Bottle caps
Corn Sugar
Irish Moss
so what would YOU do with these ingredients? all ideas are greatly appreciated!
PS: I will be doing single fermentation in 1 of 2, 6 gallon Ale pails that are sadly empty as I write this. (and yes I will get Better Bottles after a couple batches)
