Ok, I've been playing with numbers and percentages for a while, and here is a recipe I've come up with:
Volume: 5 gallons
Type: All Grain
Style: Porter (Not sure what kind of Porter yet)
OG: 1.045
Ingredients:
6.5 lbs Pale 2Row
1.25 lbs Chocolate Malt
1 lb Crystal 60L
0.5 lbs Oats (Flaked)
1 oz Goldings @ 60 min
1 oz Fuggles @ 20 min
1 oz Fuggles @ 0 min
*I'm trying to use standard low-level alpha acid hops here
Beer smith gives :
OG: 1.045
FG: 1.012
IBU: 29.3
SRM: 35.7
Est. Alcohol: 4.67%
------------------------------
I am shooting for something that reminds me of a hearty breakfast (hence oats and chocolate malt).
I'm also hoping that the mixture of Crystal/Chocolate gives a faint coffee backdrop taste. Maybe I should consider adding some coffee grinds or just coffee after fermentation?
Any thoughts?
