3rd brew - hightail clone

[ptygmit]

Hi all,

For my 3rd brew, im thinking about trying the hightail clone i found on this site at http://www.homebrewandbeer.com/forum/vi ... hp?p=37156.

I just have one quick question.... I bought 1kg of Coopers light dried malt from the local coles, and i want to check it's the same as the light dried malt extract in this recipe? On the bag it says 500g gives 0.9% alc by vol... i dont want to be making a 1.8% beer Is this the right stuff?

Cheers

Pete

Yes it is the same and you are adding a further 1.8% to what the kit makes, that is not the total ABV.

Pete,

This one comes out really nicely. I used Goldings instead of Cascade last time and I think it suits it a bit better.

Cheers,

Tim

Thanks for the help guys. I've got the Goldings on order. Will be my first attempt using ingredients other than the brew kit... really looking forward to tasting

Using fresh hops and spec grains is life changing!

i made this and it was superb - really close to the hightail, albeit a little smokier. delicious!
