Recipe advice

[fishter]

I've managed to get my hands on some whole leaf Cascade hops and a small quantity of chocolate and crystal malts. I've got two tins of pale malt extract and a packet of dried yeast.

Any suggestions on recipes I can use with this lot? Specifically I'm just not sure what quantity of hops to add when. If I stuff them all in I'll end up with a bitter hop-tea which I don't want!

Hi Fishter

Can you specify the amounts of hops and malts that you have? It would be much easier to give you some if you stated how much you have.

With 2 x 1.5kg tins of extract, you could brew a 20 litre batch with 100g crystal malt and boil 30g cascade hops for 90 minutes and 30g for 15 minutes. Should give you a golden beer, just under 5%abv, with medium bitterness and nice hop aroma.
