Looking to get some feedback on a porter recipe.
Went to the LHBS yesterday and sampled some grains, took some notes, these are the grains I liked. How does this grain bill look?
I was thinking of adding some lighter crystal (40-60L) to it to get some sweeter caramel flavor... but not sure it would shine through against the darker bill I have.
Hops may change, uncle is a foreman of a hop farm, headed there this weekend to load up. Gonna grab some trash bags of whatever they have dried (sterlings, hoods, nuggets...). Have cascades in the freezer if need be.
7 lbs Munich Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 6 80.0 %
4.0 oz Black (Patent) Malt (crisp) (500.0 SRM) Grain 3 2.9 %
4.0 oz Chocolate Malt (crisp) (450.0 SRM) Grain 4 2.9 %
8.0 oz Pale Chocolate (crisp) (200.0 SRM) Grain 2 5.7 %
4.0 oz Extra Dark Crystal Malt (simpson) (160.0 SRM) Grain 5 2.9 %
8.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (Briess) (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 5.7 %
1.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) [50.28 ml] Yeast 9 -
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 8 2.9 IBUs
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 7 14.7 IBUs
Thanks a bunch!!!
PS, if anyone in the Portland Oregon area wants to trade hops after I load up, PM me.
