I've finally got my AG system together and ready for my first brew session in a long, long time. I'm an experienced AG brewer, but I haven't brewed since "forever".
I'm looking for an AG recipe for a London porter/stout that has a fruity/raisiny undertone with minimal dark gain astringency. Not very hoppy. It might have a tinge of chocolate, but not very much. Licorice would be great too ! I want the beer to be very dark, ie black. I want to use dry yeast. I want it to ferment at room temperature.
Anyone have a recipe like this ?
I was in London about 5 years ago. I got tired of doing the tourist thing and stopped by a nondescript neighborhood (brew?)pub for a beer while my wife went on yet another sightseeing tour. It was late May. The sun came out. They opened all the doors and windows. The locals and other tourists were friendly and fun. And I had the most delicious dark beer I ever tasted. I probably could never find that pub again if I tried. I've kicked myself ever since that I didn't try to meet the brewer and/or get the recipe or even ask what it was ! How stupid was I.
I'm hoping to recreate that beer someday. I've been dying to try ever since I got back from that trip.
