I brewed a Honey Porter today. It is one of my favorite beers and I keep it on tap. I would like to try a twist on it and decided to add walnut extract during the secondary. I am not sure how much to add though. I thought about 1 oz for 5 gal. Is that too much, not enough? My mash was a little high at 157 but my gravity came out to 1.054 so I hit pretty close.
My recipe is:
Honey Walnut Porter
Grain Bill - 11.5#
Original Gravity (OG): 1.056 (°P): 13.8
Colour (SRM): 29.9 (EBC): 58.9
Bitterness (IBU): 65.6 (Average)
Grain Bill - 11.5#
63.83% American 2-Row
21.28% Rye Malt
4.26% Chocolate
4.26% Chocolate Rye
4.26% Crystal 120
2.13% Honey
1 oz Magnum (12.1% Alpha) @ 65 Minutes (First Wort)
.75 ox Cascade (5.4% Alpha) @ 20 Minutes (Boil)
.75 oz Willamette (4.8% Alpha) @ 10 Minutes (Boil)
Single step Infusion at 157°F for 65 Minutes. Boil for 65 Minutes
Fermented at 68°F with Danstar Nottingham
Notes: Add Walnut Extract During Secondary - 1 oz?
Thanks for your help.
