This is basically the same recipe as the Silver Dollar Porter from
Papazian.
Brewer: | Michael Minter | Email: | - | |||||
Beer: | January Porter | Style: | Porter | |||||
Type: | All grain | Size: | 5.5 gallons | |||||
Color: |
|
Bitterness: | 40 IBU | |||||
OG: | 1.053 | FG: | - | |||||
Alcohol: | - | |||||||
Water: | I always use filtered water using a counter-top carbon filter. To adjust pH of my sparge water I add 1 tsp of 88% Lactic acid to 5 gal. of water. |
|||||||
Grain: | 8 lb. American 2-row 8 oz. American crystal 60L 8 oz. American chocolate 8 oz. American black patent 1 lb. German Munich |
|||||||
Mash: | 77% efficiency | |||||||
I mash in a combination mash/lauter tun made from a soda keg with a foam wrapping. I usually do infusion mashes since I have no way to apply heat to my mash tun (because of the rubber bottom). Added 1 tsp Gypsum to lower mash pH. |
||||||||
Boil: | 60 minutes | SG 1.047 | 6.25 gallons | |||||
1 tsp of Irish Moss added 20 minutes before end of the boil. | ||||||||
Hops: | 0.5 oz. Cascade (5.5% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Perle (8.6% AA, 60 min.) 0.5 oz. Cascade (aroma) |
|||||||
Yeast: | Used 1 qt starter of Wyeast #1056. I always step up a smack pack to 2 liters and ferment out. Then I divide the 2 liters into 7-8 12oz bottles. This gives me 7-8 5 gal batches from one smack pack! |
