Extract First Timer and Ingredients

[podgeskeeper]

Hi all,

I've done plenty of kit brew's and I'm now looking to move up and give extract brewing a go as it doesn't require much more equipment. I've been looking at some recipes and struggling to find a local supplier or if anyone can suggest an online one? I have been purchasing my kits from a stall on Cannock market but the person in charge wasn't too knowledgeable when I try'd to discuss moving on from kits or have a great deal of ingredients.

I'm also thinking of trying a dubbel recipe for my first extract, is this a sensible option? To much for a first attempt, should I just stick with a simple bitter?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi
I have been doing a fair few small batch(6 litres or so) extract brews and i must say i have been very impressed with the results so far.Have done a few IPA and APA type beers plus a bitter and two stout's.
Depends how much grain, malt, hops etc you need to buy.I ordered up a fair amount from these people and even with the p.p charges thought they were very reasonable. Can also order small amounts of grain which is handy both crushed and uncrushed

Hmm, I like the look of their APA and Porter kit- how much do you actually boil? I have a 15L stock pot which I used for my first (and only, so far) extract brew.
