I have almost finished the five gallon batch of this that I brewed. It was definitely an awesome beer. I brought 2 sixers of them to the local homebrew club meetup and one person told me that it was her favorite beer at the meeting!
For this recipe. 5 gallon batch
Put 2 lbs of smoked malt in and 9 lbs 2 row. OG of 1.070 is that too high for this grain bill?
I added coffee. Cold brewed 8 heaping tablespoons with 16 Oz water in fridge for 24 hrs.
Well, my friends and I liked it. I used a kinda fruity etheopian bean. I would cut it back if you used espresso or French roast.
I did this beer last fall as a Belgian, chocolate pumpkin porter... Turned out awesome!!! I changed the recipe slightly. I added two cans off real pumpkin like a first wort hop... It was superb! The pumpkin was more of a background subtleness... Added a richness to the beer. The Belgian characteristics added the spice. Great beer! Good luck!
going to make a 5 G batch this weekend of this one, first porter and it looked the best.
