I'm approaching my first brew day. I have been gathering supplies such as Brewers Best Starter Kit, Brew Kettle (Turkey Fryer), Hydrometer Test Jar, Floating Thermometer, Strainer, and some other random things. I have read Home Brewing Beer By James Houston and How To Brew is on deck By Palmer. I have a good idea of how things should go at this point but I'd like some pointers from you guys. Below is the first recipe I plan on going with.
BREW IT YOURSELF - AMERICAN PALE ALE
OG 1.053 FG 1.013
SIMILAR TO SIERRA NEVADA PALE ALE, FULL SAIL PALE ALE AND STONE PALE ALE
KIT INCLUDES:
7.50 POUNDS LIGHT EXTRACT
1 PACKET BURTON WATER SALTS
1.75 OUNCES OF AHTANUM (A, see instructions)
1.00 OUNCES OF CASCADE (B, see instructions)
1.00 OUNCES OF CENTENNIAL (C, see instructions)
1.00 OUNCES OF GALENA (D, see instructions)
AHTANUM WILL SHIP IN TWO 1 OUNCE PACKAGES.
YOU WILL NEED TO SELECT YOUR CHOICE OF YEAST BELOW. OUR RECIPE SUGGESTS THE USE OF NOTTINGHAM, WYEAST (1056, 1272, 1332) OR WHITE LABS (WLP001, WL008, WLP051).
Which yeast would you go with? Any other ideas to make this process go smoothly?
Thanks In Advance!
