Has anybody done the Northern Brewer swig of sunbeams extract kit? It looks tasty and got really good reviews, although it seems like everything on NB site does which makes me wonder.
I'm shooting for something my wife will really like too, but the ABV clocks in at 8.3% which is probably a bit strong for her. The recipe calls for 1 lb of corn sugar in the last 10 minutes, which I was going to leave out to lower the ABV.
- 3.15lbs Goldmaltsyrup
- 3.15lbs MarisOttermaltsyrup
- 2lbs GoldenLightDME
- 1lb CornSugar (10min late addition)
As a side question, are there any free apps/software you guys use to easily calculate ABV, IBU, etc when you modify extract kits or build from scratch? I know about beersmith but I don't feel like paying for software until I get further down the road experience-wise.
