Hello - I have a smoked porter on gas for about a week, it fermented out more then I wanted. It finished at 1.010, so it's a bit dry. Add that to the smoke and the fact that I was a bit to heavy handed with the bittering hops and I've got a beer in serious need of some balancing. I've got...

Bump

Also mash around 152/153 about 75minutes. Bitter with ctz, flavor/aroma with willamette. Approximately 45 ibu

My BIL is a mead maker and wants to collaborate on a Braggot. I'm trying to put together a recipe based of an ESB. Thinking of adding more crystal then usual, and some flaked oats for body. I also have 1# of victory hanging out. Planning on adding 3-4# orange blossom honey, as primary winds...

Lift Bridge is great and lots of wonderful places to drink and eat down by the river, but it's a bit of a haul out to the brewery in Stillwater...delicious on tap in the city though

Northeast Brewery Tour is always a good way to spend an afternoon..Dangerous Man to Indeed to 612Brew to Northgate..I'd also stop at Grumpy's NE Awesome..done this 2 or 3 times..

Where are you staying (city/suburb/neighborhood)? Lots of great beer places. Scattered about the cities...Northeast especially (Dangerous M an/indeed/612Brew/Northgate)...

It's a good kit. I've done it before. If your adding more sugar/malt the only way to balance it would be more hops...remember tht browns should be a bit malty and if you keep adding highly fermentable sugars your going to have a dry, thin brown. To each there own...

I crushed the carafa seperate and added it with about 5 mins left in the mash through the sparge...it left it the perfect color an not super roasty harshness You could also cold steep it for 2 day prior to brewing...also eliminates harshness

Just bottled a breakfast stout clone, with 1oz in the boil and 1 oz in secondary after transferring..light chocolate and not super over powering...I've also done this and added 1 whole sliced vanilla bean..it really brings out the chocolate flavor with the vanilla

I didn't end up lagering it as you suggested, it has gone pretty darn fast though. Super good beer and well balanced...I will be brewing this again. Thanks for the recipe.
