1 lb. DME Dark
6.60 lb LME Golden
1 lb Chocolate
1 lb Smoked Malt
.75 Caramel/Crystal 80l
1.25 Palisades (60min)
.50 Mt Hood (15 min)
Safale US-05
So I am a little ambitious over my second ever batch.
I have smoked porter in the primary for almost 4 weeks now and have no problem letting it sit for a few more. Everything looks normal and tasted awesome after the pre-fermentation gravity reading. Sweet, chocolate with some burnt notes from the smoked malt .
I also have 1 cup of Vanilla coffee beans soaking in about a 1.25 cups of Seagrams Dark Honey Whiskey. They smell great and the samples taste awesome. I am aware that about 1.50 cups of bourbon/whiskey is the appropriate ratio per 5 gallons.
The questions are :
Are there too many dang flavors going on?
What are the chances of getting 5 gallons of off-flavored porter?
How many days before bottling, should I add the whiskey soaked beans?
