How to make an Extract ale?

Quantum freak · Sep 8, 2012

Hi all, Im trying to find an extract version of a spitfire clone, any recipes I find are either AG or they dont include any instructions on how to boil etc?
Does anyone know of an Extract recipe for spitfire?
And instructions on how to prepare it? :? :? (ive only ever done kits)

Many thanks : cheers:

P.s I did a search of this site and didnt find what Im looking for

:shock:

OK. The Spitfire recipe calls for a number of grains:

HALCYON PALE MALT -> This can be converted to Extract
AMBER MALT -> This can be used as a specialty grain
CRYSTAL MALT -> This can be used as a specialty grain
WHEAT MALT -> This can be converted to Wheat Extract
TORRIFIED WHEAT -> This will have to be omitted as it needs to be mashed.

Using Beer Smith I've converted the recipe for use with the brewing technique used in the Way to Amarillo recipe:

Converted Recipe

2.00 kg Light Dry Extract (added with 15 minutes of the boil left)
0.50 kg Light Dry Extract (added at the beginning of the boil)
0.12 kg Wheat Dry Extract (added at the beginning of the boil)

0.35 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (steeped for 30 mins at 65C-70C)
0.25 kg Amber Malt (steeped for 30 mins at 65C-70C)

19.00 gm Target [11.00 %] (60 min)
27.00 gm Goldings, East Kent (60 min)

15.00 gm Goldings, East Kent (15 min)

For the yeast you could use SafAle S-04 or someone may suggest something else.
