So a buddy of mine ordered some extract kits from. I read the reviews and some people say the beer is a bit bland. Obviously this depends on preference of course, but I'm sure these kits are conservative to appeal to the masses, but I was thinking about getting some extra hops to get a little more hop flavor into the beer. Maybe some extra hops at 15 min or flameout.
The first is a autumn amber ale that comes with:
-liquid malt extract
-2 oz special b
-8 oz crystal 80L
-2 oz roasted barley
-1 oz hallertau 60 min addition
-1 oz fuggle at 2 min
The next is an Irish red:
-liquid malt extract
-12 oz caramel 40L
-2 oz special b
-2 oz roasted barley
-1 oz cascade 60 min
-1 oz fuggle at 2 min
These are 5 gallon batches. If anyone knows any hop additions that might compliment these the help would be greatly appreciated.
