help with a recipe

Post by 400d » Sun Nov 01, 2009 10:43 am

ok people, I need help with a recipe....

I'm trying to create strong ale beer with a lot of body, would like it to be a bit caramel taste...

I have pale ale malt and very dark munich...

the biggest problem I have are the hops. I have 5 varieties - magnum, super styrian, target, pilgrim and first gold... these are all very bitter hops, don't know how to use them for flavour and aroma...

I want to use safale s-04 yeast, and I also concidered caramelizing 4 liters of wort by cooking it to 2 liters

would you be so kind to recommend a recipe, thanks alot

You can use Target & First Gold for Aroma... Target might not be a fav of people but it is used.

If you are going to Caramelise 4L, it won't be caramel @ 2L it will just be 2L, you'd need to boil it so as to practically turn it into Toffee (very nice Toffee) :)
