Hi

I'm a 1st time poster (pls be gentle) Made 3 batches of beer
previously with a brewers best basic kit and had varying success.
My best was a Weitzen (also BB ingredient kit). I'd like to try to
move up to a recipe instead of a kit. I also understand that this will
require secondary fermenting in a carboy and could use an explanation
of the process as at this point its abit hazy..

Thanks

Go to [url]www.howtobrew.com[/url], then come back and ask questions about anything
you don't understand.

I assume you want to use extract? If so, for a 5 gal. batch I'd use
about 8-9 lbs. of light DME. Steep 1 oz. of roasted barley for color.
Hop lightly to about 20 IBU with EKG or Fuggles. Use Wyeast 1728
fermented at a cool temp.- like 55-60F. Condition for several months
after secondary. And DO NOT, under any circumstances, use peated malt!
The Wyeast 1728 will add a hoint of smoky phenolics that's much more
authentic than using peated malt.
