A small step for man but a giant leap for mankind.
I had a day off work today and thought i would try this.
1 can of Coopers bootmaker PA.
1kg of dark soft brown sugar.
150g of Pale chocolate malt.
50g of EKG hops.
Having put the pale chocolate malt in a muslin bag i then dropped it into 4 litres of water then simmered at 65c for half an hour.
While the malt was simmering i poured The coopers PA into a fermenter and added the sugar.
I then removed the pale malt from the pan placed the hops in the wort and simmered at 90c for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes i removed the hops and poured the liquid into the fermenter and topped it upto 20l with cold water. Before i pitched i gotta reading of 1.050.I am hoping for a coffee style porter around 5:1 abv

Re: A small step for man but a giant leap for mankind.
WTF........i wondered where that was goin for a minute.
After 2 days the brews chugging along nicely.
Its the first time i`ve steeped grains and used them in my kit brews.
It was xtra time and effort but i am planning to step up to extract brewing once i`ve gained experience....hence a small step for man but a giant leap for mankind.
The smells from the pale chocolate malt were amazing.
My missus came in from work and thought i`d had the coffee maker on

Like the rest of us I doubt that she looks like that today

Alone we travel faster
Together we travel further

Wanus,
Your Giant Leap should be straight to BIAB, Extract Brewing is too expensive.
Read this thread.......viewtopic.php?f=35&t=67731
The link by PhilB is very informative.
Happy Brewing!
