First of all hello to everyone. This is my first post but I have been following this forum ever since I started wanting to brew a couple of months ago. This site has been my go-to!
So for my question. I am going to be brewing a Blueberry Cream Porter from Austin Homebrew this weekend and have a question about the cream part. I am wanting this to have a creamy mouthfeel, similar to a vanilla porter or maybe even a milk stout in creaminess and sweetness.
The recipe is as follows (mini-mash)
1-3/4 lb Pale Ale Malt
3/4 lb Caramunich Malt
3/4 lb Flaked Spelt
1/2 lb Chocolate Malt
1/4 lb De-Bittered Black Malt
1/4 lb Caraaroma Malt
4 lb Extra Light DME
1 oz Progress hops at 60 min
WF tablet at 15 min
White Labs English Ale 002 Yeast
At secondary add 2oz Vanilla Extract Powder
At kegging add 2oz Blueberry Flavoring
The reviews sound very promising but I really want to make sure my wife loves it too.
Would adding some lactose at the boil and maybe some fresh blueberries in addition in the secondary maybe help
me achieve this??
Thank you so much for your help in advance!!
