Hey everyone!
I seem to like to post during the boil here. My second batch is boiling right now. I did an amber ale recipe, but the guy at LHBS converted it to extract for me, and wants me to get a couple under my belt before I necessitate a mash tun for myself hahaha.
This was the AG version :
8lb pale malt extract
.25 oz carapils
.1 oz chocolate
.65 oz whole nugget hops (boil)
.5 oz whole cascade (finishing)
.5 oz whole goldings (finishing)
nottingham ale yeast
It's smelling so good already, I put the boil hops in about 20 minutes ago. I'm going to remove from heat and then add the finishing hops, I'm a lower IBU kind of guy so I'd rather get maximum aroma from them.
I was thinking about doing secondary in halves and trying one half with toasted canned pumpkin.....
Oh, aaaaand I may have gotten a 32L kettle for an early xmas gift! Harder to power on the stove though :smack:
