Hairy Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Good stuff Paul! Let us know how it turns out. How did you use the hops? Did you dry hop the lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulPablo Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 First steeped the crystal at round about 77 degrees celius,then took the crystals out,then btought that mix up to boil and added 30g of hops for 10 min and then added the 20g for another 5min..All in all did the hops 15min...Then added that lot to my main mix of 23 liters... Does that sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulPablo Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 All in all it made up the 23 liters I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***** Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Does that sound right? Should be good. I used Southern Hallertau in my Draught kits with great success, 25g @ 8 mins and 25g @ 5 min boils and I think I could easily have went a 15 minute boil.

Kike Gimenez Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I did something similar with my Kit can(Lager kit). It came out pretty good. Kinda like a Brownish Ale. I used Saaz tho. Im sure it will taste great with Hallertauer also. Is a great hop for light-brown or light colored beers. So far ive loved them both hops. How long did you boil that mini wort where u added the hops ? just 15 ? I didnt quite got your hop times. Other than that, pretty good initiative, ull love specialty grains + hops on your kits. Happy brewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulPablo Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hops was 30g @ 10 min and 20g at 5 min.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
