So i just brewed my first beer and am shooting for a nice Chocolate Coffee Porter. I received a kit from a friend (new in box) and he had some ingredients with it already so i with the help of my local brewers supply came up with a recipe.
I would like a hoppy, bitterish chocolate maybe coffee taste in the end and here is the recipe i have. ( 5 gallon recipe)
- 1 lb crushed grain, porter blend (.5 british chocolate malt, .5 200 degree dark crystal malt)
- 6 lb Nothwestern Dark liquid malt
- 1 lb Briiess Dried malt extract
- 4 ounces Blackstrap Molasses
- 2 ounce's Willamette pellet hops 3.8% at 10 minute boil
- 1 ounce Willamette pellet hops 3.8 % at 50 minute boil
- 1 White Labs English Ale Yeast ( liquid)
- I am thinking of brewing a half pound of Death By Chocolate coffee beans ( very dark chocolate flavor) into a pint of coffee and add it to secondary. Any advise would be appreciated if this sounds like a bad idea to add the coffee.
My SG was 1.090 and i was thinking that was pretty high but could that be due to the molasses? And if so what do you think the FG should be? Plus it took about 28 hours to see bubbling in the airlock but after 60 hours i am getting a bubble a little less than every 2 seconds. Does everything seem ok to you guys and how long in the primary, 7 days maybe?
