Let's see how long these cases last...
Are you brewing up any extract recipes? Do you have anything that turned out pretty good? Go ahead and give this recipe a try and see how you can improve it...there sure is plenty of room for that! Good luck!
In my previous post I gave a recipe and short write-up about an extract ale I had come up with as part of research I am doing for a post on all-grain vs. extract brewing. Wow, this is hard work, but someone has to do it... Somehow the beer turned out a little better than I was hoping for – perhaps in part because I am bit of a pessimist. It is a very easy-drinking beer with a mild flavour and mild bitterness. This beer has no stand-out quality and no real defining character, just a simple session ale. I guess at the end of the day this is what I was hoping for so I should be happy, but I feel for the next one I would like to try and get a bit more malty-sweetness in there and off-set it with a bit more hoppy-aroma (not necessarily bitterness). Just off the top of my head I think I am going to go with caramel-type malt and maybe drop one or two of the other specialty grains. Along with that I would like to try it as a single hop ale, maybe just sticking to the all-rounder Cascade as hop of choice. To top off the aroma I might just sneak in another addition near the end. I think this is definitely something I will do again especially seeing as I can get 20ltrs of perfectly drinkable beer for such little effort. To pick up your own DME you can get to the guys over at Beerlab (and more recently Beerguevara are also stocking up) and they will probably also be able to hook you up with anything else you will need to get kicking.
