I do all my brewing outside, AG BIAB, and it's been too cold for my likes lately to brew. So I'm going to take a step back and do an extract brew inside. Going for a quick, simple stovetop brew, and I want to see how it turns out so I can have that option if needed to fill a keg. Ordered morebeers Irish Red ale and plan on doing a partial boil. Got some extra bittering hops to make up for the partial boil low utilization rate. Plan is to steep the grains, and then boiling about 3 gallons with half the extract. Add the rest of the extract at end of boil and then chill outside in the snow. Then of course topping up with water in the fermenter.
I haven't done an extract brew since my first 4 one gallon batches starting out. Never did a full 5 gallon extract brew. Anything I'm missing?
