I'm working on doing two AG brews this weekend, the first I did earlier today, a porter with a green and blacks cacao addition, ill post pics when I download them off my camera. It's went well not sure how the chocolate will make it turn out, was looking to add a little more depth and another level to a porter I did some 6 months ago now.
So now my second brew, I'm aiming to do this tomorrow morning but I don't know what to do. What I do know is I want to make a light pale possibly fruity beer, maybe with a fruit addition to the boil or in the fermenting, or just with the use of hops. Basically a nice refreshing ale. So I've got a load of grains (25kg Maris otter sack bought today) and a load of various hops. Any of which I can use.
This is what I've got in my larder:-
Opened hops all around 80g
Target
Progress
Golding
Unopened hops all 100g
Brambling cross
Czech saaz
Northdown
Mount hood
Cascade
Northern brewer
Opened grain:-
Maris otter 21kg
Lager malt approx. 1-1.5kg
Amber malt approx 300g
Crystal malt 400g
Unopened grain:-
Flaked wheat 1kg
chocolate malt 1kg
Wheat malt 4kg
Oat husks 500g
Munich malt 500g
Black malt 500g
Roasted barley 500g
Torrified wheat 1kg
So ideally looking to put together a lighter refreshing beer.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Edit: around the 20litre final volume.
