There is a new homebrewer in Minneapolis! I finally started to gather up everything I need for becomming a novice home brewer. I got the burner and kettle ordered and on it's way and all I have to do now is run down to midwest to get the kit and off I go. I should be starting my first batch by the end of April...I know, work is crazy now and I need to get that under control before I have the time to brew a batch. I am going to do the following batch, a clone of furious for the first go, let me know what you think:
9.75 lbs. Pale malt - Golden Promise Scotland
1.50 lbs. CaraMunich Malt Belgium
0.25 lbs. Crystal 55L Great Britian
.5 oz of Warrior Pellet
.5 oz of Magnum pellet
2.65 of Amarillo Gold Pellet
3.65 of Simcoe Pellet
I brewed that last night!!! What I did, and what I'd recommend is just going to Midwest and buying the kit. They put it together with the Surly brewers so it's pretty close to the actual scaled down recipe. I'm pretty sure that they use a higher alpha hop for bittering then Surly actually uses just to make it less expensive for the homebrewer. The Golden Promise is the shit!
