Hi all, I've got a selection of kit which I'm looking to get used up as I'm transitioning from kit brews to AG / Partial Mashes.
I have:
Cooper's European lager kitx1
1l Munich LME
3l premium light DME
100 g hallertau hops
Kit yeast from the Cooper's lager and 4xmango jack's m54 lager yeast
2xclarity ferm
Coopers beer enhancer 1
I purposefully kept these to one side as they made sense in terms of making 2x lagers which I haven't done much of but thought I'd give it a go at some point, it appears the time is now!
I don't want to just brew the kit and then the extract brew as that feels a little dull so wondered if this split would work?
Cooper's kit plus 1kg of Munich LME with a 20-30g hallertau dry hop
Extract brew with 3kg LME plus the beer enhancer and hallertau addition at
40g 60mins
15g 30 mins
15g at the end
Neither of these are going to be complex brews but I've used all of my other hops, DME, Ale kits etc doing more interesting stuff so thought the above 'should' make 2 reasonable lagers but should add something to the kit in particular?
I'm then going to get some grains and equipment in a few weeks time and want to start from scratch using recipes from books and my own from online calculators.
