I am attempting to build a recipe from items I have left over and hanging around. I am going for a porter style and want to incorporate maple syrup. The whole maple syrup idea has to do with a very good friend who make the syrup. So basically I can get as much as I need. He handed me a gallon last night to get me started. I know he is not a huge fan of darker beers but with the incorporation of the maple I am hoping to increase his taste in the porter. I have plugged in what I have so far into BS and am in range with everything so far. Where I am stumped is with the hops, yeast (thinking s-06) and how much maple to use. Here is what I have so far. The LME is actually Muntons Extra Light and Light. If I remember right these were the ones to use when I ask BS. Unable to find the email from them to be sure. The SRM for each is very close.
8.0 oz Black Malt - 2-Row (Briess) (500.0 SRM) Grain 1 6.4 %
8.0 oz Chocolate 6-Row (Briess) (350.0 SRM) Grain 2 6.4 %
4.0 oz Munich 10L (Briess) (10.0 SRM) Grain 3 3.2 %
3 lbs 4.8 oz LME Golden Light (Briess) (4.0 SRM) Extract 4 42.0 %
3 lbs 4.8 oz Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 5 42.0 %
