ok so I've been reading reading and more reading, all im doing is getting further confused, could someone please clarify,
my local HBS doesn't have caramalt liquid extract, they do have powdered malt extract, and a number of different ones at that, can someone please tell me which is the correct one,
https://nationalhomebrew.com.au/search?search=extract or should I use caramel grain, once again if I go that route, how much do I use and which grain would you use
https://nationalhomebrew.com.au/search?search=caramelale or pilsner malt, there are a few types, im guessing this is where you experiment a little? do I need to crack the malt first (run it through a blender) and do I need to cook it first?
sorry of these seem like stupid questions, haven't ever done a recipe like this and REALLY want to.
thanks
