hey guys, i recently relocated to a base where the beer selection is pretty much non existent other than Heineken and carlsberg, and i am craving actual beer to the point of frustration.
I have never brewed before and i thought id start with the a Mr. Beer kit, but i dont want to settle for their recipies and after a quick google search i found that theres a Green Flash WCIPA recipie that people seemed to brew successfully and i love that beer.
Problem is its a 6 gal. recipe and mr. beer only has 2 gallons kits. So my question is, A) is there a way to cut the ingidients for a 2 gal. kit? or B) is there a better all in one, cheap kit i can buy that will allow me to deal with the 6 gal.?
heres the recipe:
SG 1069
79% apparent attenuation
FG 1013-1014
SRM 8.8
7.4% abv
IBUs
90 minute boil
WLP001. Ferment starting at 68F, let it increase to 72F over the course of fermentation.
14 lbs US 2 row
1.31 lbs Crystal 40 (substituted for Carastan)
1.31 lbs Carapils
0.5oz simcoe @90m
0.25oz simcoe @60m
0.25oz columbus @60m
0.25oz simcoe @30m
0.25oz columbus @30m
0.75oz simcoe @15m
0.75oz columbus @15m
1oz cascade @10m
0.5oz columbus @1m
0.5oz simcoe @1m
0.5oz each of amarillo, simcoe, columbus, centennial, and cascade for dry hop.
Mash @ 152F for 35m or until conversion
Mash out @ 168F
Sparge @ 170F
thanks for any help.
