Ok I am ready for the weekend and to do my first AG batch (newcastle clone). I have a "flyguy" 10 gallon igloo mash tun build and I am going to use my bottleing bucket for my HLT...its wrapped in a low e insulation sleeve. I did a dry run and found that I had 1.5 quarts of water left in my...

I love almonds and chocolate......see how it comes out but does the .5 oz sound like a good start?

So I was thinking about adding .5oz of ALmond extract to this at bottleing to make this a chocolate almond Porter. Any thoughts? This would be my first attempt at using extract at bottleing time. Thanks in advance.

where are you in brooklyn I have a buddy in parkslope...I could convince him to pickup if you are close enough...$25 for both sounds fair.

I will have to try Jamil Z's reciepe next....sounds great!

Thanks mr bell:mug: Going to look up late additions later today.

cheers...i was looking for a little more there....but beer it is

ok just took a gravity sample and this stuff tastes great...1.010 for last 3 days. Racked to secondary and I am psyched to bottle this in a week.

Also,what time would I do the late extract addition...would this be for the DME and LME? Never did a late extract addition b4.

Dont see the 8 oz of bakers cocoa in the reciepe...could this account for why I came up with higher OG then 1.048?

I did not do a late extract addition? Should Ifor next time?..and how would I go about it? What did beersmith tell you? I have no software...still a newbie:mug: Thanks for all the input everyone!

Yeah this looked pretty muddy going into the primary....muddy but yummy:)

Thanks for info Maida7! I will keep it finely tuned!

This was my reciepe. To hear someone may want to brew it is awsome!:mug: I think i will be hideing half of this away for some ageing. I def will be sampling one after two weeks in the bottle. Waiting is the hardes part of brewing for me;)

If I let it sit for more than a month shouldnt I rack to secondary due to funky dead yeast tastes?:mug:

Taking temp in closet down to 64 as we speak:mug:

I used dryed yeast for this. Rehydrated then proofed it first. Didnt know 72 was a high pitch temp....I will bring it down next time. I will keep closet at a steady 68:mug: Thanks for the advice. I will also primary for at least a month!

I pitched at 72 ambient room temp is 68
