Recipe From Scratch

[sparkywhite]

I am looking for a recipe that it tried and tested from scratch. I don't want to use the starter cans. A larger or pilsner would be good. Like a gutsy stout too.

 

[Jazman]

why not try 2.5kg hoepfner pills malt and 2.5 kg of light munich malt and 250 grms wheat malt

then hop using halletua to 30 ibus and dry hop with halletua and it will give a nice aroma and use a good liquid larger yeast

I've got All Grain weizen, wit, pils, porter and oatmeal stout recipes I've built from scratch.
I've also got a number of others I've used from books.

Name your preference and I'll post them.

Beers,
Doc

Hey Doc,

I want to put down my first all extract porter - gotta be rich and malty and have an OG of 1060 or better in 23 Litres with about 30ibu's....?

Any recipes you can help me with?

Cheers,

TL

 

[Doc]

About the best I can offer is an AG Robust Porter.
You could easily convert it to extract and up the OG.
This recipe just got me 4th in the Dark Ale category of the 2003 Qld HomeBrewing Comp.

Edit. I screwed up and posted the recipe from a pre-release version (not the one I brewed).

I'll post again the correct one.

Thanks Doc,
Looks interesting...

Regarding the Grains listed, is the SRM like a measurement of Lovibond?

Still learning!!

Cheers,

TL

 

[Doc]

TL,

SRM is a measure of colour as is Lovibond, EBC and ASBC.
A good place to do conversion between them all can be found here.

Yes the Nth Qld comp.
The other Qld comp does not provide entry to the Nationals.

True. I put a few brews in that one myself. I just heard back this afternoon that my Tripel got a 2nd and a 3rd. Off to the Nationals I go.... B)
