I have a "Creamy White Stout Kit" for Christmas, I checked it and found no hops were in it so I went back and checked the recipe on the website and there were non listed nor were the mash conditions. I should have checked before my son ordered it but I didn't so it is my fault!!! no blame to HBS it came from the user uploaded section - the Wild West.
I need a bit of help with sorting out what hops I need and in fact if the recipe is any good.
Munich 1 ..............2000g
Melanoidin.............500g
Maris Otter............3500g
Flaked Barley.........1000g
Biscuit...................500g
I think I should do a 65°C 90 min mash no conditions were listed in the recipe. My first though is to bitter to about 50 IBU with a small 15 min addition for flavour.
First question, is this going to produce a good brew?
Second question, what hop additions to I need to make?
Third question, do I need a beta glucan rest and rice hulls for drainage?
Thanks Gents. aamcle
