| Short boil to try to keep the color down. Boiled 1.5 oz spalt hops 20 min in separate pan to bring out bitterness (hopefully). Dumped them into brewpot for the rest of the 40 minute boil. other hops as per hop sched. Extract is "Weyermann" brand Bavarian Pilsner, unhopped. LHBS says it is very authentic, and it better be for the price! |
