Hey there. I'm new around here but I've been lurking for a few months. I have some extract brews under my belt and I was just trying to clean up some old stuff and make a lighter less hoppy beer for the wife to have during the summer - as everything I have done so far have been darker ales. Anyway I brewed this tonight and don't really know what to expect! I don't care about abv in this batch, mostly because I broke my hydrometer and didn't have a backup (noon mistake). Anyway have a look at what I did to use up my leftovers and let me know what I should expect!
1.5ish lbs wheat dme
2.2ish lbs amber dme
1lb dextrose
Steeped .5 lb crystal 15, .25lbs carapils and .25lbs crystal 40 at 150 for 30 mins
About 3.5 litres wort the rest topped up in the fermenter.
About .75oz simcoe at 60 mins and .5oz cascade at 15 mins. Late addition of the amber extract.
Pitched BRY-97 American west coast yeast at 69 degrees.
I know it will make beer, probably under 5%, not sure what else to expect! I usually try to be accurate but this was honestly just using up some leftovers. I live way up in northern canada so my lhbs is 4 hours away! Thanks everyone
