Excellent recipe and description.

Looking forward to a tasty taster

I like the idea of hop extract. Interesting stuff and I reckon the shop would be happy to promote it.

[molc]

Good to hear how this worked out for you. It's a great idea and something that can be promoted as a quick boil recipe which is cool.
Would be good to know total boil litres as well, as might be a possability for someone who doesn't have a lot of kit on a stovetop.

I was also going to offer my Russian imperial stout recipe of anyone was interested. He tried it at the last meet.

Since there's been no more recopies suggested I say we make a move on this.

I would like to vote for Will's tried and tested medal winning Weizenbock.

I agree. That would be a great kit to be able to do. Will prpbably have to be all grain only though. I really fancied doing an extract version but it looks impossible. I've been looking into it quite a bit recently and it's impossible to get a munich malt extract. The only munich malt extract available in ireland seems to be the weyermann 4kg can that costs 45 quid!

Will we do an extract amber ale maybe? Nigel you got the bones of a recipe we could thrash out here?

[nigel_c]

Is it not an all grain and an extract version of the same recipe?

[molc]

Separate recipes I think. I have an american amber, but you'd have to suck it and see. I like it, but it's nothing special.
