So Ive been looking at the recipes here...

[Thirdeye]

and they all seem to be either partial mash or all grain. FYI, I dont what partial mash means, but I dont think its extract brewing, which is the peak of my skill level at the moment. Are there any good recipes here that are extract?

Partial mash is a little AG and a little extract.....but, mostly extract. In a partial mash, you get some of your fermentable sugars from a small grain mash, and the rest from extract. You usually don't need any extra equipment and it's way better. Once I went partial mash, I could never do just extract. The quality of the beer improves quite a bit. Can't wait to go AG.

I think you should look into doing partial mashes. It really isn't much work at all. Only a little more time.

Remove wort from heat and cool to below 70 farenheit. Pour into fermenter and add cool water to top off to 5 gallons.
Pitch yeast on top of wort, seal fermenter, and store in a cool (65-70 farenheit) dark location for one week.

Please post it I would like to brew that clone..Thanks!


Hey do you get you brew supplys @ The Red Salmander?

I've converted my DFH 60 minute clone to extract and steeping grains, as well as PM if you're interested.

Actually, just about ANY recipe can be converted to extract very easily. Just let us know which ones you want and we can help you.

Either partial mash or steeping grains will add to the character of your brews without much more work.

Is there a thread here that explains partial mash brewing?

 

[PseudoChef]

You can usually just convert the AG to extract.

Take the base grain from the recipe (usually the Pale 2-row, Marris Otter, Pilsener) and for every pound of that, use 0.6 lbs of DME or 0.75 lbs of LME.

Then, just steep the rest of the grains it calls for (some require actual mashing, but for the most part your crystals, chocolate, roasted barley are all steepable).

grazi!

 

[TheJadedDog]

Most of my recipes are extract (I do have some that are partial mash, but not many).

 

[CBBaron]

If you are playing with recipes vs kits a software program like Beersmith or Promash is really helpful. You can enter the recipe into the software as written by the brewer. Then you can change the boil volumes, replace the base malt with extract, and adjust the bittering hops to get the same results. i find this the easiest way to convert recipes.
Plus you can also see how any substitutions will affect the OG, color and bitterness and perhaps make adjustments. After all there are many varieties of malts and hops and most HBSes do not stock them all.

There are tons of good extract recipes in Papazian's book, The Joy of Homebrewing. Do you have it? Usually it comes with the starter kit. I highly recommend reading the whole book if you are just starting.

+1 on the PM, it will really improve your beers

+1 on the gushers being related to the amount of dextrose used. You will sometimes see these with an infection, but then the beer would taste like ass.

There's a detailed description in the HBT wiki, but it's for doing a PM with a Mash Lauter Tun, or a cooler. I just did a PM using guidelines from the book Brewing Classic Styles. The method from the book is for a stovetop mash using a regular pot and a nylon paint strainer bag. I got a nice strainer bag at the local Sherwin Williams paint store for a few bucks that had an elastic top that held nicely around the top of my pot and didn't slide into the pot. The process was to get water,1.5 quarts each per pound of grain, up to ~165°F and then add your crushed grain in the bag, and turn off the heat. Stir it up and your temp should be in the 150-155°F range. Put a cover on the pot and let it sit for 30 minutes. After that time is up turn the heat back on and bring the temp back up to 155°, then let it mash for another 30 minutes. While this is going on get a couple gallons in your boiling pot up to 165°F and when your mash is done take the grain bag out of the mashing pot and do a sparge by steeping the bag in the boiling pot for 10 minutes starting at the 165°F temp. Remove and discard the grain when done, and don't ever squeeze the grain, as this might release tannins that would be undesirable in your wort. Pour your wort from the mashing pot into the boiling pot and carry on with your extract additions and hopping like you would for an all extract brew. PM adds some time to your brewing session, but it should make a positive difference in your final product.
