Good afternoon all,
I am currently out here in the sunny tropics - specifically the Philippines. I am already aware of temperature concerns, but can possibly run an AC unit to combat this weather (35degC average ATM).
After quite a bit of difficult I have managed to get my hands of some grain and yeast (see below) but even with Brew Target at my disposal my knowledge doesn't yet stretch far enough to create an appropriate recipe.
I am ideally looking for a strong and crispy lager (for the hot days) and a good rich chocolatey and peanut butter style porter. Maybe a strong red ale too. If this isn't possible with the ingredients I have then so be it - let me know what is possible. Not included are some of the extras that I may be able to find (oats, honey, rice, cocoa nibs, etc). Extra ingredients I have are for when I can progress onto new things - just ordered a load because shipping was massively pricey here.
If I have missed anything else then please just ask me. I am most certainly and definitely VERY new to this! I am planning BIAB method as I have limited time, space and equipment and I think this should be a suitable set up for the brewing I am a doin'.
Thanks for any help and input. Help get me away from 5 years of San Miguel and onto something new
Cheers.
Jim
