This was a very good, very rich Porter. Nice sweetness and great mouthfeel. Friends who shy away from Stout loved this milder (but creamier) dark beer.

I found this in the recipe section and most of what it called for so I gave it a shot.
I had to change it up some for lack of supplies.
I used my new big 52 qt pot and voile bag I made for it.
That BIAB sure works super !!!

I used:
10# GW 2 row (lhb didnt have the munich)
1# 40L (dont carry 30L)
1/2# choclate (all I had )
1/4# Black Patent (to make up for missing choclate)
1# regular rolled oats
1/2# carapils
1/2oz Northern (what I had)boil
1/2oz Cascade 10min
1/4 tsp Irish Moss 10 min
11g S-04 split and hydrated for two carboy's

I started out with 7 1/4 gallons of water heated to 162-165 deg and it dropped to 152 by the time I got grains stirred in . Covered it up
with heavy towel and a flannel sheet wrapped.
Stirred at 1/2 hour and 60 minutes , it was 148ish deg.

After boiling wort 60 minutes and cooling off with coil to 70 deg I had just shy of 6 gallons and 1.053 OG.

Sample tastes awesome !!

Hope its close enough to the original !!

82 looks an no reply ? I was curious if this would be anywhere close in taste to the original ?

I think missing the Munich you might lack some richness in the final beer. At the same time your recipe looks good to me. Why don't you report back on it and maybe call it blue pearl or something.

I brewed this one today. I had the grains and hops as listed, except I also used 40L crystal. I did use a different yeast, wyeast West Yorkshire.

I worked to keep the mash temp at 158 and had to fire up the burner a few times. Ended with my expected 1.064 OG. Can't wait to try this one.

I can't believe a brew supply place doesn't have munich, wow. My LHBS also has that issue of having a poor selection of grains so actually I'm not that surprised. It makes it hard to buy local when they never have what you need.

The lhbs here is a small isle at Grange co-op with lots of beer kits some lme,dme ,cascade ,willamette and mt hood hops ,s-04, lager and wine yeast . Wheat malt , 80L an 40L. Couple carboys ,buckets some hose caps an capper .
That is the extent of supplies . I ask them to order in some things and they cant do to company guidelines .
Sooo.......MoreBeer is more than happy to ship !! And a good job they do too !!
Only drawback is having to plan ahead for what you want to do .
