With my current brew 'Way to Amarillo' about to be bottled my thought is now going to my next batch.
I found an Extract clone of HobGoblin by the Home Brewer Orfy. This was dated back a few years.
I also thought that before I did a brew completely from scratch it probably was a wise idea to get a feel for Steeping Grains.
Brew Type: Extract | Batch Size: 18.93L | Boil Volume: 9.19L | Boil Time: 60 min
Ingredients
0.17 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain
0.15 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain
0.09 kg Chocolate Malt (450.0 SRM) Grain
3.48 kg Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) *
62 gm Styrian Goldings [5.00%]
62 gm Fuggles [4.50%]
1 Pkg Nottingham (Danstar) Yeast
* I've slightly edited the Pale malt extract, as I buy most of my ingredients from The Home Brew Shop light malt extract comes in 1.5kg tins so I will order 2 tins (making 3kg) and sub the .48kg as dried malt extract. This isn't a simple like for like swap as dried malt extract is more concentrated than liquid so a simple calculation is in order.
This is DME = 0.84 * LME - based on this recipe I would need to multiply 0.84 by 0.48 (quantity of malt extract left) which equals 0.4032 (or essentially 400g of DME)
Instructions
-- Add water to achieve boil volume of 9.19 L
-- Steep grains (see below) for 30mins at 65oC
0.17 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain
0.15 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain
0.09 kg Chocolate Malt (450.0 SRM) Grain
-- Estimated Pre-boil Gravity is: 1.115 SG with all grains/extracts added
-- Remove grains and add extract
-- Bring to boil (making sure DME is completely mixed with no lumpy bits) then add hops
3.48 kg Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract
25 gm Styrian Goldings [5.00%] (60 min boil) (First Wort Hop)
25 gm Fuggles [4.50%] (60 min boil) (First Wort Hop) Hops
30 min into boil Add 25 gm Styrian Goldings [5.00%] (30 min boil)
30 min into boil Add 25 gm Fuggles [4.50%] (30 min boil)
At end of boil , remove from heat and add 12 gm Fuggles [4.50%] (Aroma Hop-Steep)
At end of boil, remove from heat and add 12 gm Styrian Goldings [5.00%] (Aroma Hop-Steep)
-- Cool wort to fermentation temperature
-- Add 11.36 L water (as needed) to achieve volume of 18.93 L
-- Siphon/strain/transfer wort to primary fermenter and aerate wort
-- Add 1 Pkg Nottingham (Danstar #-) Yeast-Ale
-- Measure Original Gravity: (Estimate: 1.056 SG)
-- 14 days Ferment in primary at 20.0 C (original Orfy recipe states to rack into secondary but I have increased primary accordingly)
-- Measure Final Gravity: (Estimate: 1.013 SG)
-- Bottle beer at 15.6 C with 97.0 g of dried malt extract.
-- Age for 3.0 Weeks (1st week fermenting temperature then reduce to 15.0 C

This will be estimated as 5.6% so slightly higher than commercial Hobgoblin and will be in the region of about ã1.20 so defiantly cheaper than the draft version and slightly cheaper than supermarket bottles.
