| Beer: | 11:11 | Style: | Brown Porter | |||||
| Type: | Extract w/grain | Size: | 5.5 gallons | |||||
| Color: |
|
Bitterness: | 18 IBU | |||||
| OG: | 1.057 | FG: | 1.010 | |||||
| Alcohol: | 6.1% v/v (4.8% w/w) | |||||||
| Water: | Atlanta city water! | |||||||
| Grain: | 8 oz. American crystal 60L 6 oz. Flaked oats 8 oz. American chocolate |
|||||||
| Steep: | Placed grains in a bag and steeped them in 2.5 gal of water until it was almost boiling, then moved grains to a 2 quart pot of 170F water to rinse for 20 minutes. Brought the 2.5 to a boil while the grains soaked in the other pot and added malt extracts and other fermentables; then added the "sparge" water once it had soaked for a while. Added first addition hops as soon as everything came to a boil. | |||||||
| Boil: | 75 minutes | SG 1.105 | 3 gallons | |||||
| 5 lb. 12 oz. Dark malt extract 5 oz. Brown sugar 14 oz. Turbinado sugar 8 oz. Honey 8 oz. Date sugar |
||||||||
| Hops: | 1 oz. Willamette (4.3% AA, 75 min.) 1 oz. Willamette (4.3% AA, 15 min.) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | Munton's Ale Yeast | |||||||
| Log: | Kept on the primary for 8 days, then bottled (this beer needed to be done in a hurry for a party). | |||||||
| Carbonation: | 3/4 Cup Corn Sugar | |||||||
| Tasting: | Mild, warm, and raisin-like. This beer is definitely on the delicate side, which is interesting for a dark beer and definitely unusual for me to brew. I won't make this one again; I prefer my beers to be a little sharper in flavor, but it did come out pretty nice. | |||||||
