Hi Tron,

Looks good.

Having recently acquired two only slightly out of date tins of Amber LME, your recipe was forwarded to be by Fuggled Mind.

My brew's currently looking like this:

Double Amber Best Bitter
2x 1.5 kg Brupak Amber LME
300 gr brewing sugar (dextrose, presumably)
2 teaspoons of burton water crystals (I presume you add them at this stage?)

Water added to make 5 litres in total (maybe a bit more to allow for evaporation)

Once boiling add

50gr East Ken Goldingsfor 6o min (26.30 IBU)
10gr Fuggles boiled for 20 min (3.19 IBU)
10gr Fuggles boiled for 10 min (1.90 IBU)
10gr Fuggles steeped for 20 min (can't work out the IBU for this)

strain, put in FV and top up to 23 litres with cold water

Wait for a suitable temp drop then pitch dried S-04 yeast.

I have use the fabulous Kit and Extract Beer designer to get me this far. See the following link for more details:

Really looking forward to this, my first extract brew. Got a spare few hours next saturday, SWMBO and spog are out for the day, so hoping to get the Coopers APA bottled and this one on the go.
