Hello, I've been given 2 cans of Coopers amber extract 1.5 kg each and I'm wanting to brew a beer loosely based on Old Speckled Hen. I've tried using brewtarget but I'm not sure that I'm doing it right especially the batch size part. I want to end up with about 15 litres of beer as that would use all the bottles I've got at the moment. I have challenger and goldings hops and here's what I'm thinking of doing:
6 litres of boiling water with 1 can of extract added then 60 min boil with following hops
40g challenger hops - 60 min
30g goldings - 20 min
10g challenger - 20 min
20 g goldings - 5 mins
Then top up with 2nd can and water to about 16 litres.
Could anyone tell me roughly what IBU that would come out at. I searched on net and some say Speckled Hen is about 40 - 50 IBU.
Or if anyone could suggest a recipe that would be appreciated. I don't want to use grain at the moment, I haven't got a big enough pot or talked SWMBO into it yet.
Thanks
