so i posted a while ago about my first original recipe (i came up with based on ingredients i had on hand)...well, i brewed it and just tasted it and i must admit, i was really quite impressed. it needs about a week more to carb, but it still tastes pretty good, really nice in fact.......stylistically, im not sure what it is though. I was thinking it would turn out like a brown, but it definately tastes more porter-like, although not quite like any porter ive ever tasted. I wanted to share the recipe as i actually made it and if anyone decides to try it out, let me know what you think!
8 lbs mountemellick light LME
1/2 lb 75 L crystal
1/4 lb special B
1/2 lb chocolate
2 oz victory
2 oz wheat malt. toasted for 10 min
1/2 oz chinook-60 min
1 oz styrian goldings-60 min
1 oz mt. hood-10 min
1 oz Kent Goldings-5 min
White Labs English Ale yeast
added extract 30 min into boil.
OG 1.060
FG 1.020
at first i thought chinook was too agressive for this beer, but it was only half an ounce and it has mellowed nicely. i may experiment with different hop varieties when i make it again. maybe even dryhopping with some KG?
anyway, just wanted to share the recipe......i think ill go have a beer..........
