I have:
1x Coopers Bitter
1x Coopers Mexican lager
100g Goldings
12g Goldings Finishing Hops
12g Fuggles Finishing Hops
500g Crushed Crystal Malt
1Kg Gluocse/Dextrose
500g Light SprayMalt
Would anyone be able to help me with a reciepe for a 22L batch. Either making the lager, or bitter. Only have the ability to boil little amounts as only have basic cooking pans. Max 2L i can boil in one pan. How would i go about adding the crushed crystal malt? and what are the benifits of this? i do prefer a light ale, so not sure if i could do this with these ingrediants.
Also got hold of some 'Mighty Atom' yeast and one used or heard of it???
Thanks in advance,
Student Brewer
Any ideas?!
Re: Any ideas?!
I would probably just use the kits and not the grains or hops for those brews as the Coopers range are pretty good.
You could use the light spray malt and glucose in the lager and if you can get some medium/dark spray malt (1kg), use that for the bitter.
When you get another beer on the go, maybe think about using the grains and hops then. Look out for tins of "plain malt extract" i.e not flavoured or hopped and use the grains and hops in that to make your own beer kit
Maybe 30g goldings (in a muslin bag) steeped in boiling water for an hour to make it a bitter liquor then add the extract plus cold water up to 5 gallons then add the Fuggles/goldings, again in a bag and leave to ferment.
I've never heard of the yeast you mention
