I found a recipe on line for a Sam Adams clone. problem was it didn't say which S.A. it was. Also it called for using a Munton kit with additions.
I did a poor guess with substitutes . Here's what I used for a 4 gallon batch.
3 pounds light DME
1 pound amber DME
1/2 pound crystal 77 (recipe called for 60 ,but used what I had)
1 cup brown sugar (no scale)
1 oz. Hallertau hops for 50 minutes.
1/2 oz Tettnang for 30 minutes
1/2 oz Tettnang for 5 minutes.
It's been in the primary for 10 days and wanted to check the gravity.
Drank the sample and it taste great ,but more like a lawnmower or blonde ale.
I want to dry hop to give it some S.A. flavor .
What would be the proper hops to add and the amount ??
p.s. while I was drinking the sample ,I added a single drop of raspberry extract and it gave a nice fruit addition with out over powering it .
Worse case I can add the raspberry and make a summer beer for the ladies.
Still would like to aim more for S.A. but if the recipe is a lost cause I'll go fruity.
Thanx for any help.
