I've got a pouch of Omega Hornidal kveik sitting in the fridge crying to be let out in this weather.
I thought a pale ale/IPA would be a good place to start, but given the excrutiating heat I'm minded to go for a 15-minute boil extract recipe to avoid standing in a hot kitchen too long.
The recipe I came up with is pretty simple;
200g Crystal 30L (steeped).
Made up to 4l for a 15 minute boil;
10g Falconers Flight (12.6%) for 15 minutes
25g Falconers Flight (12.6%) for 5 minutes
Late addition: 1.5kg extra-light DME
Make up to 11L with Ashbeck water.
Dry hop 15g FF for 3 days.
Brewers Friends calculates this at 1.050->1.012 (75% att.) = 4.9% ABV. IBU 43, SRM 5.89.
Questions:
1. is the malt a bit too bland? Should I replace extra-light with something else? (I have 600g Breiss sparkling amber DME I could use, plus some light, wheat and dark DMEs). I've not got many other steeping grains - just darker crystal (150L), chococate and roasted barley. [I also have amber, aromatic and carapils malts, but I'd like to avoid having to mash and do a full boil.]
2. Should I add some golden syrup or dextrose to dry it out a little?
I've gone with a 'single'-hop of FF, but also have EKG, Fuggles, Northdown, Target and a small amount of Saaz.
Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks.
