So in the past I have only followed recipies that I was able to find in various places (books, internet, etc.) After purchasing and reading The Brewmasters Bible I decided that it was time to take advantage of it's fairly comprehensive information to formulate my own recipie, following the guidelines listed in the book but calculating everything myself. Let me know what you think about this....
My First Porter
8# 4oz Marris Otter
2# 12oz Vienna
6oz Special B
4oz Chocolate Malt
4oz Black Patent Malt
4oz Roasted Barley
Single step infusion mash 75 minutes at 153 degrees with 10Q water treated with a bit of calcium chloride. Mash out with 5Q 212 degree water. Batch sparge with 18Q 170 degree water.
Boil 80 minutes.
1oz E Kent Goldings (60 minutes)
1oz Styrian Goldings (15 minutes)
1T Irish Moss (15 minutes)
Not sure which yeast I will be using yet but think that I might be leaning towards the british Ale Yeast from White Labs (I can't help it I love those little test tubes)
If calculations came out correct (I haven't sent beersmith my money yet so they won't let me just plug it in there) it should come out to about:
27 IBU
31 SRM
1.064 OG
1.015 FG
~6.4% ABV :rockin:
So check it out and let me know what you all think!?! I should be brewing in about 5 or 6 days so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
