Hey there,
So I’m back brewing again and I wanted to remake the first brew I’d attempted years ago. But have run into a possible hitch...
Here’s the recipie:
“Ingredients for 5 gallons (19 l):
3¾ lbs. (1.7 kg) can Coopers Real Ale hopped malt extract
3¾ lbs. (1.7 kg) can Coopers light malt extract
1 oz. (28 g) Amarillo hops for aroma Ale yeast
¾ c. (175 ml) corn sugar or 1¼ c. (300 ml) dried malt extract (for bottling)”
I just got the delivery of the two cans of malt extract, and the Real Ale extract is 1.7kg - but the Light Malt extract comes in at 1.5kg.
I’ve got some Medium Crystal Malt grain lying around. Can I steep some at the beginning to account for the 200grams less of Light Malt extract?
Or perhaps just use 1.5kgs of Real Ale extract and less water?
Help please!
