Make the best of it

Right I have 50 g of sorachi ace 1.5lme 1.5 dextrose how do I get maximum flavour or do I need more

No other hops at all...?

 

[labrewski]

None at the moment kids got them for me on fathers day so was hoping I could do something if I boiled them for an hour would that bring enough flavour out

Interesting gift choice, did they have a particular beer in mind they fancied

Sorry, not familiar with that hop, so I’m of no use whatsoever

Sorachi ace is a great hop but I am not familiar on lme of dextrose.. I have used sorachi in a nice pale ale. I will be using it as a single hop for a Saison. Check out Brooklyn sorachi ace.

Liquid malt extract =lme
Dextrose = brewing sugar
Hops throw em together beer lol

What equipment do you have?

 

[An Ankoù]

10 litre batch
All the LME, 500g dextrose will give you an OG of about 1050.
15g of your hops (about 12% alpha acid) should give you about 35 ibus, 5g 5 mins before end of boil, 5g at flameout. 10g dry hop 3 days. (leaving 15g for next batch). Don't overdo the hops as there's no "body-building" stuff in there apart from what's in the extract, and the dextrose will thin it a bit.
This will give you a nice, flavoursome beer.
If the alpha acid is higher, reduce the boiling hops accordingly.
75 minute boil.

Yoiu'll need some yeast.

you can pick up a pack of dme from wilkos for 4.50 to give it more oomph and brew a little short
