I've gotten six all grain kits from a supplier here in Brazil. The grain bills and infusion receipts have varied, but the hopps and yeast are always the same -- 1/2 oz Hallertau and Nottingham Ale yeast. I haven't been very impressed with the results. It could be my processes since I am just starting to do all grain brewing, but I think that more and/or different hopps may help.
I'm back in the US for a few days and can pick up some ingredients to improve the kit I have back in Brazil.
It is supposed to be a Trappist Style beer. Here is what I have (Brewsmith is on the PC in Brazil, so I apologize for not converting the metric units):
7.04 lbs Pilsen malt
0.88 lbs Crystal malt
0.88 lbs Brown malt
0.88 lbs sugar (obtain locally)
0.5 oz Hallertau hopps pellets
Nottingham Ale yeast
OG 15.5 - 16.5 Brix
Ramps
20 minutes 52C
30 minutes 62C
60 minutes 68 - 70C
5 minutes 78C
Boil time (presumed) 60 minutes.
I can take DME, LME, hopp pellets, yeast, but not grains.
One option is to make it a Trappist style, but I think I need to supplement the receipe. I've thought about using Belgian Candi syrup instead of sugar, but I'm open to other ideas.
The grains also look suitable for a brown ale.
Can anyone make suggestions?
Thank you!
