Thanks for the links - I never brewed a dubbel ...and now that I am looking at all the other recipes, the one I posted (I have no clue how that would even come out). Like stated above, its way to complex for the style I am trying to brew.
Time to brew a nice strong beer that will have a lasting mouth feel, an ABV around 8.5-9.5%, and an upfront banana character. I came across this recipe and wanted to try it out, but tweak a few things first. I look forward to your feedback before giving possible things I am thinking about...
^I meant to add, I am talking about Pinner (there were a few posts on this already but wanted to add it to this also in case others are watching this post also).
Guys any more feedback on this? I am going to place an order today and any feedback on your recipe would be great. Going for a 10g all grain batch and wanting to get as close to pinner as possible.
Anybody continue to perfect this recipe for 10g or 5g all grain? What people are saying, in the least, would be to add a bit of oats. Looking to brew this next week so any additional information would be great. Trying to get as close to pinner as possible. Not looking for a hop bomb.
So everything went quite well. I took out 1lb of my mixed grain (from the initial forum post), then added 5lbs Munich and .5lb oats. Came out around 1.058 (I forget the exact number, as knowing I would be over 6.5% abv was what I was wanting). I would assume this is going to bottle at around...
My issue is that it is already mixed. I was going to take out a lb or two and keep it for something else to throw into. I'm trying to make it so I don't toss it all away, and figure out how to make due. The black malt I wish I could take out. So maybe the answer is the oats and Munich over...
What is your viewpoint on adding 3lbs of maris otter? Then 1/2lb oats, and maybe some more 120? ...then call it a day? I don't think getting too complex w/ this is the right way to go.
Ha thanks for that. Maybe another lb of 2row and some amber malt. I don't know how much. I already have 8lbs of 2row (so I am just adding to things). I found some extra grains around, but have them around for some time. I tasted it and I don't see why it wouldn't be good. I have an...
Thank you for all of that. I think I will go w/ 1/2lb flaked oats, 2 more lbs of 2row, 1/2 lb more chocolate malt - You made a lot of sense saying I should go w/ the oats (thanks).
Now for the yeast. Any exact specifics? And your hops, what do you recommend for my use case? I am a malt...
Hello all. The purpose of this thread is to get input on taking a smoked porter recipe, adding more grain (to relax the smoky taste and increase the mouth feel and abv) and changing the yeast. I am going to list the original recipe and then what I wanted to change. I value your input...
