Hi guys,
This is what i have ready to brew
1.7 kg of Black Rock Dark Malt Extract
1.7 kg of Black Rock Light Malt Extract
500g of powedered Malt Extract - Light Malt Brew Improver
500g Chocolate Malt Grains (for steeping)
500g Crystal Dark Malt Grains (for steeping)
25g Goldings
25g Fuggles
Ale yeast
I will be making 19litres (~5 gal)
I aim to make a Chocolate caramel beer. (maybe with a hint of coffee, 4/5 beans for the next batch depending on how this one turns out)
My questions:
1. Should I boil the Malt Extract with the hops or just add them from the can/bag into the fermenter?
2. Hoppping:
2.1 . I was planning on using 12.5g of Goldings and 12.5 of fuggles at 30mins and the same at 2 mins
2.2 but, from my understanding I should boil the bittering hops for 60 mins - not sure when to put the rest.
Whats the difference between the two in terms of flavour and bitterness?
Any suggestions for hopping?
3. I only have a 10l pot for the boil, is it ok to do the boil with 10l (or less) of water and top the fermenter with filtered water?
