I've only brewed a couple times and like to keep it remotely simple, and cheap for this brew. I'm not too finicky about this beer, but would like it to have some character. Basically (Cheap>easy>good) for values with this beer.
How does this sound?
Total 5 gallons
Muntons premium irish stout can LME
1# black roasted Barley
0.5# Chocolate malt
0.5# DME
0.5# brown sugar
Yeast slurry, Wyeast stout, dark ale (forget specific yeast)
Mash schedule
Boil 2 gallons, remove from heat at 155 deg
Steep grains for 25 min
sparge 170 deg, bring up to 3 gallons total
Add muntons LME
control boil, add .5# DME, .5# of brown sugar
Rolling boil for 15 min
(add hops last 5 min? already prehopped but may want add more)
Should I boil it longer when the sugar is added? is 60 min necessary?
Any feedback welcome!
