I got some free malt extract. What should I brew

[zman]

When I did extract brewing I usually did one of the pre packaged kits but thanks to someone at my HBC I got a container of Breiss Sparkling Amber and Golden Light for free. Any thoughts on what I should brew?

Beer. You should brew beer.

"Brew what you like" is always good advice.

thanks!! lol. I am looking for extract or PM recipes that use one of the other or both

The light can be used in just about any recipe. The amber can be used in amber ale and darker. You could even just copy a pre-packaged kit and put the rest of the ingredients together yourself. Or check out the recipes database.

Did you do a late extract addition or boil it all for 60 min?

 

[goose1873]

If its a full boil, then boil extract entire time.

If you are doing a half boil, I would boil half the extract for the entire time and add the other half in the last 10 min. This way the bittering hops are being added to wort at ~the SG (instead of 2x concentrated wort) and therefor the hops additions don't need to be increased.

LOVE This BEER! Working on my first 6pack. Just Awesome Stuff! Glad I ordered a centennial rhizome this year!

Do you have other brewing specs? OG & target FG?
Would like to tweak this out to a partial mash

I came up with 67 IBU doing a 3.5Gal boil for a 5.5 gal batch using that hop schedule.
