I have been collecting AG stuff over the winter and I have a quantity of LME left. I thought by using it I could also use some of the stuff I've collected for AG.
I wanted to use my brand spankin new Barley crusher, new digital scale, Brewsmith sofware and brew pot. In using the brew pot I was able to do a full-boil. The BC was used for crushing the steeping grains.
The best part of the day was however seeing what a HUGE difference it makes adding the LME at the end of the boil. That was the first time I had done that and could now kick myself for wasting all those hops in the past.
The recipe is below.
