Beer Recipe?!
Beer Recipe?
What will I get if I boil 1/2 oz of Crystal malt, 1/2 oz of Black Patent malt, 1/2 oz of Chocolate malt, 7lb of Amber malt extract, for 1 hour, 2 cups of brown sugar, with 1 oz of Willamette hops for 45 minutes, 1 oz of Centennial hops for 15 minutes, and finish with 1/4 oz Centennial for 2 minutes? I have English Ale White Labs yeast. I'm looking for a creamy, malty, yet hoppy beer. I'm thinking this might be the way to go. I really like New Belgium 2 Below, but I doubt if I can reciprocate that toasted bread taste in their beers. Maybe something that is a fuller bodied ale, I don't know. Any opinion would be greatly appreciated.
Answers:
You wouldn't make any style of beer in particular. And, from what you have, it doesn't sound too good.
First of all, don't boil your grain; you get astringency this way. Second, use the Centennial for bittering and the Willamette for the finishing hops. Third, add another eight to twelve ounces of crystal malt to give the batch some sweetness.
