Re: cheap mild and extras
Well, one of my budget kegs is now standing idle. So I'm thinking about also brewing a Mild for the end of September.
What do you guys think of this for a cheapo Geordie Mild kit:
Extract about 250ml of the kit liquid and boil that with approx. 6 litres of water for 40 minutes. Add 20g Northdown when coming to the boil.
Mix 700g Munton's medium DME (as that's all I have) and 300g corn sugar
with water and bring to the boil to sanitise.
Steep 200g of uncrushed chocolate malt for 30 minutes at 70 degrees in 2 litres of water.
Mix it all together for a 40 pint brew and ferment with Safale s04.
Do you think this extra effort will give me better results?
