Hi,
I am hoping to brew my second batch of beer this weekend. The first was an American Pale Ale kit and it is delicious.
Below is the recipe I found on this site. My problem is there are no instructions like what you get with your "kit". I have all the ingredients, but my first kit told me put the grains in the cheese cloth and steep them until water boils, then add extract.
Since there are no grains I assume I boil water then add extract, honey and pellet hops then boil for 45 mins. then lower heat below boil and add whole hops in a cheese cloth bag and steep for 10 minutes, remove bag, then boil again and add 1/2 ounce Coriander for 10 minutes, lower heat and add other 1/2 ounce coriander for 10 minutes, then add orange peel for 10 minutes. Cool wort to 75 degrees then add yeast.
Am I reading this correctly? Maybe I should do a kit of another style of beer before I try this. Any advice is appreciated.
