Leftovers recipe advice - Mainly Munich Extract

Post by george151 » Sat May 10, 2014 10:48 pm

Hi all,

I am a malt extract/partial mash 20L type brewer.

I don't get to brew often so when I do I end up wasting a fair bit of malt extract (as it would go off before I get to do the next brew). However, this time I'm determined not to and will get to a second as soon as the fermentor is free, but I'm not up for ordering many more ingredients. I will have 0.5L Coopers Wheat Malt Extract, and about 1.4kg of Briess Concentrated Munich Malt Extract leftover from another brew, so I was thinking of adding all of that to:

0.5 kg Pilsner malt
0.5 kg flaked oats
4 AAU Hallertau hops (60 min) 28 g
Wyeast Activator™ 2633 Octoberfest Lager Yeast (already ordered)

I'm just wondering if more knowledgable types could reassure me that it'll turn out alright? I have a few different hops in storage (Challenger, Northdown etc) that I could add as well as some Pale Malt, but I don't want to over-complicate it.

Munich Wiessen dunkel. Not sure if there is such a thing but I think you can make it from that. Boil the crap out of it to darken it up.

Keep the IBU doen in the low 20's. Use a yeast that will bring forward the malt like say WLP 0028 and you will get a malt heavy beer. I think i might mash th grains at say 67 though
