This started off as a porter but I decided to not use any roasted barley or black patent. Technically, meets the specs for a robust porter, but I think its more of an American Brown Ale. Anyway, thought I'd post for commentary and criticism:
Amount Item Type % or IBU
3.30 lb Pilsner Liquid Extract (3.5 SRM) Extract 35.48 %
4.00 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 43.01 %
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 5.38 %
0.50 lb Chocolate Malt (450.0 SRM) Grain 5.38 %
0.50 lb Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 5.38 %
0.25 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 2.69 %
0.25 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0 SRM) Grain 2.69 %
1.00 oz Northern Brewer [8.00 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 30.4 IBU
1.00 oz Cascade [6.10 %] (30 min) Hops 16.2 IBU
S-05 Yeast
5 gallon batch
Est Original Gravity: 1.057 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.013 SG
Bitterness: 46.6 IBU
Est Color: 25.8 SRM
Keeping the fermentation on the cool side, bubbling away at 62F as we speak. I'm aiming for a mild porter/strong brown ale with a little west coast hop kick.
Appreciate thoughts if anyone has em and will of course post notes as this progresses.
Cheers
