Hi, I'm so green to homebrew I must be organic! I've made 3 batches of beer so far all from extract kits. Now that I've got the hang of things and got rid of the fear factor, I decided I would try an all grain brew.
Decided to just do a 5litre batch so if I mess up then there's not too many tears! I live in Spain so on my last UK trip I visited a homebrew shop in Leeds and asked for advice on ingredients to buy. I really wanted to brew a small batch of Mild as my wife liked Hull mild from when we lived there. Unfortunately the homebrew shop couldn't help me with this but I got ingredients to make a chocolate stout, enough for 2 x 5 litre batches. The lady in the shop told me to use half the ingredients for each batch. I was so hyped that I didn't even think about asking for instructions on what to do with the ingredients! Now I'm back in Spain and although I've watched countless you tube videos I'm still unsure about temperature and timings, when to do what.
Can anyone help me with an idiot proof recipe that I can follow. The ingredients I have for 2 x 5 litres are :
1 kg Maris Other
500gms Chocolate Malt
2 Fuggles Hop Tea Bag packs
2 sachets of Brewers Yeast
I've found recipes online but none match these ingredients, some have oats in which I can buy locally but hope I'm not missing anything major?
I emailed the shop but the lady pointed me towards this forum, don't think she's a brewer ! I would be extremely grateful for any help you can give me.
Thanks
