I'm pretty green at brewing, but have definitely caught the bug, so while my first attempt is bubbling in the fermenter. i'm planning my next go
(ok batch #1 is a MrB i bought off of woot)
i'm pretty limited on space for fermentation, so i bought a 2gal fermenter from Northern Brewer, and got some ingredients to brew one of these and then the other. after a fair amount of reading, both of these will be 1.5 gallon batches, with a blowoff tube if necessary, due to the size of the fermenter.
1. A Golden Ale (with help from a local home brewer and Justibone)
1lb NB Golden Malt Extract (UME)
1Cup Dark Brown Sugar
.5oz fuggle hops at 60 min boil
.5oz fuggle hops at 5min boil
basis of recipe comes from here
TastyBrew.com | Recipes - substituting DBS for the Light Malt Extract
2. Damned Easy Dark Ale
1.5lb Dark Malt Extract (UME)
.5oz cascade hops 60 min boil
.5oz cascade hops 18 min boil
basis of recipe comes from here - TastyBrew.com | Recipes and Brew Your Own: The How-To Homebrew Beer Magazine - Beer Styles - Birth of a New Style: Cascadian Dark Ale
i'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and concerns over these proposed small batch recipes. (i seriously wish i had more room, but, sadly, i don't) but, the hope is to be able to rotate batches every few weeks, and have a pipeline of micro-homebrews. thanks in advance everyone!
