Hi All,
In the past I've bought some starter kits for my Dad, and it's been fun brewing and tasting the end product, however I'd like to be able to brew something more similar to what he would usually drink. He usually drinks Peroni, and after talking to various brew shops, all suggestions have been mixing kits I've used previously with small additions such as elderflower or something similar.
Rather than using kits at all, I'd like to get together the ingredients and write up a recipe which we can follow in an attempt to make something at least vaguely similar to Peroni (or at least something drinkable).
After some googling a found a post where somebody had attempted to brew a Peroni clone with decent results (Peroni Clone) so I'd like to give that a go, however having never brewed without a kit before I need a bit of help/advice.
So I need help with the following:
1. The ingredients specified are:
By weight:
Q: By Pilsner this does just mean any old Pilsner malt?
2. A hop schedule is specified in the post:
Other than that I have googled the basics of brewing and it seems like it would be fine, however any suggestions for a first timer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any help.
