Hello folks.
I bought a batch of ingredients to do a partial mash Belgian black ale. I have been brewing kits for years...some of which involved a short boil, so thought I'd move to the next step. I had two cans of malt extract, and figured I'd start there. I found this recipe
https://beerrecipes.org/Recipe/13864/belgian-black-ale.html
and got what i had hoped were sufficient substitutions for the ingredients I couldn't source
this is the list of ingredients on the recipe
Ingredients:
6.6 lbs. (3 kg) Briess Amber malt extract
8 oz. (224 g) Muntons roasted barley
8 oz. (224 g) Briess crystal malt (60 °L)
5 AAU Willamette hops (60 mins) (1 oz./28 g of 5%alpha acids)
1 oz. (28 g) Cascade hops (finishing)
5 oz. (140 g) priming sugar
White Labs WLP550 (Belgian Ale) yeast
The instructions start with these steps for making the wort
1. Sanitize all equipment.
2. Pour 2 gallons (7.6 L) of clean water into a 4-gallon (15.2 L) or larger pot. Put all crushed grains into a steeping bag and tie the end into a knot to close it. Place the grain filled bag into the brew pot water and heat to approximately 160–170 °F (71–77 °C). Do not boil the grains. Carefully remove the grain bag and allow it to drain into the brew pot without squeezing. Discard the grain-filled bag.
3. Heat the brew pot water to boiling. Remove kettle from heat. Add malt extract syrup and dry malt extract. Stir well and return to heat. Stir constantly until it returns to a boil. Add bittering hops. Be careful not to let the pot boil over. Do not use the kettle lid. Boil for 55 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then add finishing hops. Boil for an additional 5 minutes (total boiling time is 60 minutes).
I've attached an image of what I have (minus the cans of extract) Is this sufficient to carry this recipe through? As you can see I have the barley and also whole crystal malt ( I can mill it in a coffee grinder )...but the list of ingredients is confusing me...
Can I even brew beer with what I have here? Is the dark spray malt suitable for what is referred to as dry malt extract?
I just need some clarification...any help appreciated. I really want to get this stuff in the boiler
