HI Guys,
I want to try extract, but had a look at the HBC site and have no Idea what to go after any one got a nice SNPA clone type recipe. and step by step what i'll need
Thanks
Cove
Hi Covey, you should be able to get started with even the most basic equipment. What kind of pots have you got around the house? I've been using a stock pot that holds around 8 to 10 litres and topping up the fv with cold water to get back to the desired temperature.
I'm doing partial extracts a few months now & think the extract kits from HBC are great to start with. This (http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/hbc-extract-american-pale-ale-23-litres-p-1697.html) American Pale Ale was my favourite. It comes with instructions but you can find a load of vids on you tube to talk you through. Try this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmhgcuQ5_ps&list=PL2A9257341E3DF381) one from Craig.
You might want to skip the kits & jump right in to a recipe to use up those lovely hops you just got. That bottle of SNPA clone I gave you was brewed from Tube's post of Partridge's write up of Jacob's recipe (have i got that right??) that I got here. (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/page/4/)
This is a conversion from an all grain recipe I did. You'd need a 30l brew pot, though the recipe could be modified to suit your equipment:
