Hey guys, I wanted to brew this one and was wondering if there were any changes to the first post? I will be doing 5.5 gallon biab. thanks again for recipe! Josh

Hey HK - thanks for the post. Just a quick note - I tried this a while back when I was a super newb to brewing. I may have fubbed something up during brewing, but I didn't think it tasted as close to what you have come up with, but that's just my 2 cents. If anyone tries it out let me know so...

Good info! Thanks for the recipe! How would we make it darker without effecting the taste? I actually don't mind it lighter and I think you are right about them darkening it. I noticed it last time I poured it, but who knows...maybe I'm just seeing mine as the new & improved Maduro SLS!

Hey SLS, Thanks for the info and sorry for the long wait for the reply. I have some photos below of Maduro next to the "Improved" version. (ha ha) For some reason I can't seem to get the beer as clear as I would like it as you will see in the photos. I pitched Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale...

Hey SLS Just tried my first beer from the keg and man is it good! I think I may have done a little something different in my process than yours b/c it's not exactly the same as Maduro but still freaking good! Thanks for the information! Notes: 1. The color is slightly lighter than Maduro 2...

Brewday Monday went great! My sparge was a little too fast as well, but overall I think it's looking good so far. My OG was 1.049 and pitched at 68. Vigorous fermentation for about 2 days and just checked it and it's bubbling once per second now. I'm fermenting at 68. I'll be out of town until...

Hey HK thanks again for the follow up. I think i'm going to try your recipe. What do you think the decrease in brown and increase in caramel would end up being? Something like this? 3.7kg maris otter 1 kg crystal caramel 60 0.4kg victory 0.2kg brown 0.2kg chocolate 0.5kg oats Thanks again and...

Great! Let me know. Either way all these brews are pretty tasty.

Hey guys, just a quick update. I know we have a couple brew recipes going on here, but hopefully one of these will end up being fairly close. I brewed this one on Saturday. 5.5 lb Pale LME MASH @ 154 12 oz Caramel 80L 12 oz Pale Chocolate Malt 12 oz Brown Malt 10 oz. Victory Malt 12 oz...

Hey there danimalt. Thanks for the response and the clear instructions. 1. Yes it did taste very chocolaty. I guess can't do much about it now so we'll just roll with it and add the vanilla bean and see what happens. 2. Thanks for the vanilla bean instructions. I'll go ahead and do that and put...

Hey there. Thanks for the recipe! I did a newbie mistake and added the cocoa powder to the entire boil. Do you think the beer is ruined? Also for the vanilla bean how did you add it to secondary? Looking forward to this beer hope I didn't ruin it.

Ok cool! I'll get ingredients this week and try to show color going into fermenter and then thereafter follow up pics. I rounded all but 1 to 12 oz for an in between recipe ha ha, maybe everything at 12 will result in a close clone. Fingers crossed. Thanks again! 5.5 lb Pale LME MASH @ 154 12...

Ok cool! Thankyou..just figured i would try. I'll save them for the next similar recipe I have with them. :) Thanks.

Yeah figured they were too small...just hate for them to go to waste. I will buy DME, hops & yeast.

Hey there, I have some left over grains from my partial mash and was wondering if any of these could be close to a good brown ale / stout recipe with some DME added hops and yeast. Any help appreciated. I inputed these ingredients in BeerSmith, but not really sure how to tell if the recipe...
