This helps considerably, thanks much. THese are the ingredients listed in that kit:
Can you specifically tell me which components go with which step. I know I'm a complete newb but I would love to have something drinkable
I am super appreciative of all the help in this thread and my others! I hate to be spoonfed but I am a baby at this point. I did attempt to take a shot at it:
My guess:
Bring some water (2 gallons minimum up to 6) to 158 degrees, add the grains to the included muslin bag and put in the water.
Wait 30 minutes
Crisp Crystal Malt 60L 1 lbs, 3 oz
Crisp Roasted Barley 0 lbs, 8 oz
Crisp Chocolate Malt 0 lbs, 5 oz
After the steep, remove the grains and throw them away. If you'd like, you can start with 2 gallons in the steep, and pour 170 degree water over the grains to "rinse" them. That's easiest if you lift out the grainbag and put it in a colander to do that. It's not necessary, but many brewers like to do it. You can pour it over until you reach your boil volume.
add the liquid malt extract and heat to boiling.
half at beginning of boil, other half when 20 mins left Briess Pilsen Extra Light Liquid Extract
Add hops when listed (60 minutes means 60 minutes left in the boil for example)
Brewers Gold Pellets 2 oz @ 60 mins
add remaining malt extract
other half of Briess Pilsen Extra Light Liquid Extract
cool after 60 minutes and put into bucket/carboy, add water if needed to bring total volume to 5 gallons
check temp and pitch yeast. (
