Hello
I am just about to start brewing my own beer, i have ordered all the equipment and material i need for my first batch. I will work in 10 Liter bottles for all steps of the process and expect to end up with about 7-8 liters in the fermenter.
I am using malt extract and some whole malt, that ill crush at home.
This is the receipt im using
Since i only have room for 10L i have downgraded above receipt with 60% to fit in to my bottles. This is the downgraded result.
Now i am not sure how to do the first steps and how much water i should use to get everything correct. Sorry for a rough translation, not sure i am using the correct terms.
1. All ingredient in separate bowls after weighing them.
2. Wash and clean all equipment
3. Crush 100g crystal malt, check weight after.
4. 100g crushed crystal malt mixed with 250 milliliters of water (25cl) at a temperature of 75 degrees (Celsius)
a. This is done in a smaller pot, first malt, then water and mix untill all is wet.
b. Keep warm, temperature of 64-69 degrees (Celsius) for 60-90 minutes.
c. Add water if needed to keep warm or if to much is vaporizing.
d. Now filter it and add 75 degree water so you get 250 milliliter liquid after filtering.
5. Heat up 9.7 liter water to 75 degree (Celsius).
6. Put 1.6 KG Muntons malt extract in a 10L pot.
7. Add 9.7 liter 75 degree water to the malt extract. Mix well.
8. Add the liquid from the crystal malt that previously was filtered (4).
9. Mix well so no lumps can be found.
10. Boil for 60 minutes, mix often.
a. Add 28g perle cones direct when it starts to boil.
b. After 55 minutes of boiling, add 16g perle cones.
11. Filter liquid after boiling for 60min in a filter blanket into a yeast bucket.
a. Important to bee clean and keep all kinds of dirt out.
12. Start yest process.
I would be very happy to either be confirmed that i am doing things correctly above. Or correct my steps and help me get a proper plan of how to do my first batch.
What i am not sure about is the whole malt (crystal malt) that need to be prepared beside the malt extract before they can be mixed.
Thanks in advance.
