Hi all,
I'm after some advice and was not sure where to start this thread. I have been brewing with beer kits for on/off 3 years so I consider myself still pretty new to this.
As I said I have been brewing with kits and am now at a point where I want to start beefing up my brews. I hope to achieve this by adding additional hops by dry hopping/hopped tea method and/or I also want start steeping grain to add to my beer kit.
I want to try get brew on this weekend and want to know if doing this is a good start.
Or do you guys recommend doing one or the other. I have about 3 types of grain and hops so if I was to do both I would need to think about what grains and hop to use to get some good flavour on my brew.
Also, to save time does anyone see an issue or have concerns around doing the hopped tea the night before. I am just thinking about how I can save time when I come to do my brew the next day especially if I'm steeping grain.
Lastly, can anyone recommend a rough quide for doing steeping grain, dry hopping and hopped tea method.
I mean in terms of heat, water amounts, times and any big no no's to be aware of.
That's all for now. Apologies for the long winded message. Any advice would be appreciated. Happy brewing.
Cheers
Boydo
