Horden hillbilly's lager - extract?

Post by sam c » Fri May 01, 2009 7:30 pm

lokking to come up with a nice easy lager recipe to add to my collection of brews to do in a month when i return to england.

after having a search around on the forum i found one from horden hillbilly. this is an all grain recipe and i would like to convert it to extract.

this is his:

Lager recipe

Lager Malt 2816g
British Caramalt 402g
Flaked Maize 402g
Brewing Sugar 402g
Saaz Hops 20 Bittering units, added at start of the boil.
Estimated OG 1042


i was thinking of dropping the flaked maze as it has to be mashed and using some sugar intstaed to lighten the brew up. i understand after reading a feew threads that the flaked maze would add a little flavour as well but thought it would be ok to leave it out?

heres what i was thinking for an extract version:

23 lires - OG 1.042 - 4.5% - colour 13 EBC (all calulated on beer engine)
2.1kg plae DME
400g white/brewers sugar
400g caramalt ( can this just be steeped for 30 mins as you would with say crystal malt?)
60g saaz 3.3AA - 90 min boil
safale s-23 yeast

please make any better adjustments to it and any advice on fermenting and lagering temps and times would be great.

cheers

Do you now have an ever growing list of extract recipes??

I'm trying to stop adding new ones in Beer Engine as I'll simply never get around to them all!! :D

I already did... ;) viewtopic.php?f=24&t=22781 a Bramling Cross IPA, a sneaky taste from the sample jar told me it was 1010 and really has the blackcurrant flavours, should make for interesting drinking when its ready. :)
