It's a low gravity (1048 OG) but still full-flavored ale with a good hop character.

I can't find Columbus or Crystal hops. Substitution suggestions? Tomahawk for the Columbus?
ReplyDeleteI need to relisten to the show to get the extract conversion, which comes about 15 min. from the end of the episode.
Am I still going to need to do a 90 min. boil if I'm doing extract?
The 90 minute boil will still be good for extract. The purpose of the longer boil is to get better isomerization of the hops and a longer time to drive off some of the unwanted compounds.
ReplyDeleteAs for the hops, if you need to substitute.. usually there is a sub chart at your local shop... otherwise, look for similar flavor and AA% for your substitutions. Or look online at Norther Brewer, B3 or your personal favourite.
I think NikoBrew has Tomahawk. I'll probably end up getting my malts from B3 and the hops from Niko.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered everything I need. NB had all the hops, but I had to go through B3 for the grains (and got taken on the shipping from them).
ReplyDeleteCheck your numbers on the black patent. I think you mean ounces, not pounds.
Also, for an extract version just substitute 55% of the pale malt (I'm going with 5.15 lbs of pale DME).
Thanks for the extract info Eric.
ReplyDeleteThe Black Patent info is corrected. You should be using just a tiny pinch.
