Seriously, I wouldnt be using POR in it. POR is pretty much a bittering hop. and your already using a Draught tin thats already bittered with POR.
Out of curiousity how do you do your on roasted pearl barley?
i have a recipe i have used for quite a while now where i brew the coopers draught tin with PoR hops and the equivalant of be1 sugar.
thats all i used to use and the beer was absoloutly beautiful..
the draught tin is light coloured so i can acheive the colour i need when i also add the grains to it...
because of the roasted barley i putt into it i will need it to be bittered again so this is why i used PoR and the fact that its flavour is so awesome anyway..
i put this beer on today and it went really really well and with a lower OG as the lashes is a bit weaker in strength. i would say its gonna be nice regardless of what im tying to replicate.
This was the recipe i used, (came up with it last night):
1kg body booster
cooper yellow draught
200g barley
100g crystal
50g dark dry malt
6g pride of ringwood @ 20 mins
4g Amarillo @ 10 mins
4g Cascade @ 10 mins
6g pride of ringwood @ 5 mins
4g Amarillo @ 0 mins steep for 40 mins
4g cascade @ 0 mins steep for 40 mins
Dry hop 4g amarillo
dry hop 4g cascade
use yeast from draught tin. Pitched at 26 degrees.
As for the Roasted Pearl Barley, go to coles and buy pearl barley from the section where you would find all the soup beans and split peas.
i tossed the barley in a bowl with a very light sprinkling of brown sugar and dark dry malt (this just coats the outside for extra caramelisation)
then roast in the oven on a flat tray at 170 degress tossing around every couple of mins untill you get the desired colour you want.
Cool on the tray and using a fork, scrape the barley around to seperate and place into sterilised jar for storage.
Use as per Wheat/barley in recipe.
