What do you think?

Post by gibbiem » Sun Jan 19, 2014 11:43 pm

Just wondering if some one could give me some feedback on how they think this brew will turn out.

Its my first full extract.

2.93kg light DME
1kg extra light DME
250g Crystal 150

20g Columbus - 90
20g Simcoe - 90

20g Chinook - 30
20g Amarillo - 30

10g of each steeped at the end while cooling

Going to use 10g of each to dry hop too.

I used Wyeast 1056 and made a starter and it started bubbling straight away. The OG was 1.060.

Its sitting at 22 degrees and planning on leaving it about two weeks then dry hop a week and bottle.

I'm looking for a really hoppy zesty beer so hopefully it will do the job.

Cheers

It's difficult because the house is so warm! Its right next to the drafty back door now so will check it in the morning. Cheers

I'm the same but my house is freezing managing to get a high gravity beer to preform at 14-16 degrees was hard work.
