Well, I am pretty happy with my girlfriend and my first try at brewing. Not perfect, but a lot better than I expected. So we schlepped down to the home brew supply today to pick up another kit for another brew and settled on a "holiday ale" from the Brewer's Best Series.
The problem is, the instructions are exactly the same as our last brew which was an IPA, even though there are a lot more ingredients. We're trying to figure out at what point to add the extra ingredients.
Here is the ingredient list as follows:
6.6 lbs plain light malt extract
2 lbs plain light dry extract*
1 lb. 8oz crushed crystal malt
4 oz crushed chocolate*
4 oz crushed black patent*
spice pack*
1 1/2 oz nugget hops
1 oz willamette hops
5 oz priming sugar
nottingham yeast
* extra ingredients not mentioned in instructions
What do you guys think? Thanks in advance
