Hi all,
I've been extract brewing for the last couple of years now trying out different hop combinations on the same base recipe. I've been able to get some nice hop combinations, and although occasionally a little too bitter (and I do mean a little depending on hop amount/boil times), I haven't been able to get the type of flavours I'm looking for.
I have been doing 5 galleon batches; my last one was:
Boil: 1.5kg light malt extract in the boil with 45g Amarillo & 45 Citra for 60mins, then 30g Citra & 20g Amarillo for 10mins
Post boil: 1kg brewing sugar, 500g light spray malt
Fermenting: Gervin GV12 yeast, 35g Amarillo & 25g Citra
I am based in England, so when I think of the beers I'm looking to emulate, I think draught Brewdog Punk IPA, Oakham Citra, Thornbridge Jaipur/Kipling, Marstons Shipyard.
Can anyone advise how I can progress from extract brewing, and suggest any recipes, or changes to my current method (above) to bring about the flavours I'm looking for? Thanks!
