I have only made one batch of beer (isn't yet carbonated so IDK if it is good or not) and I kept it super simple - just DME and one addition of hop pellets. Looking for some feedback on this recipe because I want to use ingredients that I don't have experience with.
1.5 gallon batch
Grain/Fermentables:
1.5 lbs Breiss Sparkling Amber DME
4 oz 350L American Chocolate Malt
4 oz 10L American Caramel Malt
4 oz rolled oats
Hops:
0.5 oz Kent Golding pellets (might sub in Target, Fuggle, or Challenger)
Yeast: US-05
I want to boil only 0.75 gal then add cold clean water at the end to help chill/reach volume. My understanding is that I need to steep the grains first in hot water (150-160 F) then remove them and boil the hops (45-60 min) and add the DME in the last few minutes of the boil. Anything weird about the quantity of ingredients I laid out or the procedure?
Edit: Recommendations on using brown sugar as a fermentable?
