Haya guys amd wanting to chuck this down some time this week. The problem is at the moment i only have a stock pot with a capicity of max 19ltrs. Any ideas on what additions i can do? Is there a partial floating around for this also?

Cheers

This recipe sounds really interesting and one that I'd like to try out!

The biggest pot I have a 5L pot - would someone be able to either

a) help me out with hop schedule etc for this or - preferably

b) tell me how to work it out myself using beersmith. I just bought beersmith and am working my way around it but am not overly familiar with the software yet.

Thanks guys!

[Kevnlis]

Same hop schedule, but use only the 500g of LDME in the boil

EDIT: I didn't read my own recipe

b) tell me how to work it out myself using beersmith. I just bought beersmith and am working my way around it but am not overly familiar with the software yet.

The way I worked it out in Beersmith was to;

1) Set your boil volume to what you want eg: 4L

2) Work out what fermentables you require for a 4L boil http://homebrewandbeer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7834&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit#p78670

3) add that to beersmith eg 450grms LDME

4) add the rest of the LDME (50grms) to beersmith as a separate item but check the box " Add after boil"

5) Make sure all other items are marked "add after boil" as well

6) If you are using kits then you will have to add them to the Grains & Extracts menu (New Grain or Extract) as an Extract and adjust the Hop grams to adjust the IBU's for the kits (Check the add after boil for these too)

Doing this will ensure you are not affecting the IBU's of the kits and the IBU's of your boil is correct.

I'm pretty sure this is the right way to do it??? Just bought Beersmith myself and this is what I have worked out within the last week. Hope it works for you..

Cheers, Mat.

I would use:

2x 1.5 kilo tins of LLME
500g LDME

For hopping, in a full 26L boil add the following:

10g Chinook @ 60 min
15g Amarillo @ 20 min
15g Cascade @ 20 min
10g Amarillo Dry Hopped in Secondary
10g Cascade Dry Hopped in Secondary

I brewed an all grain version based on Kevnils hop schedule,with the exception of subbing the dry hops at flame out.

It is a cracka.Will now become a brew always on tap.

I have used cascade extensively,but have never used amarillo and chinook before.Wow what a beautiful combo.On the back
of this result I will be trying more USA hops in different styles

[Kevnlis]

The flame out addition is probably the better way to go anyway, you lose the volitile components of the hops yet keep most of the aroma and get a bit of flavour.

You could always dry hop the keg as well. I have done this several times and it has always worked great!
