Saturday I brewed for the first time in months.
Brewed up a Cherry Smoked Porter, the wort tasted pretty good. 


Kostritzer rules.Seeing how much sinamar is too much
"Dark lager" 5 gal
88% Best Heidelberg
7.3% Dark munich
2.9% Carahell
1.8% Sinimar ( 60g post boil )
1.039
27 IBU
S189
Ive used 30g in 5gal with a definite effect, but i want to try to make a really dark lager. I got a german beer pack for xmas from my wife. There was a dark lager, like kostrizer, which was black as midnight but only very lightly roasty in flavour. Really liked it. I've also got a big bottle of sinamar which has lasted quite a while, and S189, which is great for clean malty lagers.
Anyway, i'll see how it goes
Brown ale into the fermenter @ 1.052 this evening.
