Nice Thank you - Did not see this post - So the video didnt quite explain what i was getting at does this 60 40 20 min thing just mean to add that part of the recipe at those times counting down? IE Add X at 60 minutes.... wait until 40 add Y ..... Wait till 20 add Z ?
PS can you get the same beer in a 5 gallon kit from these guys ? Beginning to wonder if I shouldn't just jump into the deep end and go 5 gallon considering I have most of the supplies for that and would eliminate some money buying the 1 gallon kits .... I have 5 gallon carboys, air locks and bungs... a cane siphon etc. May be better to just spend them money on 5 gallon batch
a) Yes, The instructions will tell you when to add ingredients (usually but not always hops) counting down during the boil.
b) They do not make 5-gallon mixes or kits, but their two books (BEER MAKING BOOK and MAKE SOME BEER) have all of their recipes written for 1- and 5-gallon amounts. If you want to go 5-gallon (which I plan to do after fiding a few favourites), I'd suggest grabbing the books, available on Amazon.
