YEAH!!

I may well shamelessly steal that recipe!! Got no golden promise, but i do have simpsons and TF FM MO. Think either will work awesome!!

the stealing of this recipe carries a penalty of 1 longneck :icon_cheers:

Can be arranged!

So today it was supposed to be carbed up, though on tasting, it seems as though it needs more ( i may have left the IN line off last night haha ). Anyway, its very nice, and im very happy with it. I used some Spec B in the recipe, but i think Victory is the kind of malt that needs showcasing. Next time i think i'd probably just go with choc and Victory, no crystal. This keg wont last too long though!!

I DAS and ended up here, have a 500g bag of Victory that's been hanging around so I'm using 125g today in an English ESB - comes out to about 2.6% of grain bill.

Has anybody else used Victory in English Ales since the end of the original thread (2011) ?

 

[mje1980]

I don't think I've used it since then haha. Definately update us bribie. I think it'll be fine

I use biscuit in most of my UK ales - when I can't get biscuit, I use Victory as a sub.

Unless I am also using aromatic, my standard addition is 250-300g with around 4-5 kg of base. If using aromatic I use half each to hit that amount

 

[mje1980]

Thinking about it I'm sure I still have some left. Out to the brew shed we go!!

Yep. I have. Offers a great slightly savoury background to the esters, in my opinion. Not sure it'll show up much at that percentage. Too much is not good.

i've used victory malt in an english bitter and i love it ...

3% victory
3% special b
96% tffmgp

:drinks:

I always put 102% into every beer I make.

Used 13% in a porter recipe few days ago thinking it would be much like abbey. oh well suck it and see and pop that down to experience and the need to doss up more

 

[SimoB]

13% should be ok in a porter I think. According to briess specs on their site

I'm like manticle and usually use some sort of biscuity malt in my UK bitters. I have to say I prefer Simpsons Amber to Victory. They're similar but different, if that makes sense. Having said that, if I couldn't get Amber I'd be more than happy to sub Victory. I don't like to go over 5% Amber in lowish to medium gravity bitters (1.035 - 1.045). It can get a bit overpowering in those sorts of beers.

I've got a cube of ESB that is next in line for ferment, used 10% Victory as CB were out of Biscuit.

The only other beer I've used it in was an IPA, grist of 80% MO / 20% Victory, on tap at the moment and drinking well, tastes just like the version I do with 20% biscuit.
