DFH 60 Minute IPA Help

[KYUSHO00]

Hi,
I am doing the extract version of Yoppers DFH 60 min IPA and have a question about Crystal Malt. I bought 1 lb milled(I hope milled) as the recipe called for but I have no Idea how to use it or what it is for? I just placed my order so there is time.

Any help on this would be great.

Place it in a grain bag in your boil water for 30-60 minutes at 140-160 degrees. Then take it out and toss the grains. Heat the water to boiling and do your brew as usual. The crystal malt will add some color and flavor to your beer.

See the "How to Brew" link in my signature. Read the section on "brewing your first extract beer", it should answer this and many other questions that you may have.

Thats it? Wow making more out of it then I really had to.

Thanks

After that I assume I would bring to a boil and add the LME and start the Hopping regeiment. correct?

Yep, though google "late extract addition" for information on improving extract beer.

Big help, Thanks!

I will check out Late Extract Addition.

I am doing a full boil so a late extract addition might mess fith my hop utilization.

That's one of the benefits, you get to use less hops for the same IBUs. :rockin:

I Read if I did that I should do a 20% early 80% late extract addition.

I will have to think about how to do the hops now.


I was going to do:

.75 oz Warrior pellets (3 separate times)
1 oz Amarillo pellets (3 separate times)
.75 oz Simcoe pellets (3 separate times)

Then dry hop with 1 oz Amarillo buds.

I just saw this. Disregard the hopping I sent with the instructions in the PM- use the hopping schedule in the AG recipe. That will give you the best results. In the extract recipe, that is assuming a 2.5 gallon boil.

Will do Yooper,

Last question can you dry hop with pellets? Could only get simcoe in pellet form.

Sure- that's fine! They kind of disintegrate into sludge that sinks, but sometimes stays afloat. It doesn't matter, though- it'll still give you plenty of aroma.
