What Are You Brewing III

[lukiferj]

Man Im just drinking one of my first Choc Porters I put in the keg last week......Very similar to yours but I did a single infusion at 69 deC, used cocoa powder in the no chill and 1469.
Tastes rediculous, super malty. And its a deep, deep red colour in the light, with a brown chocolaty head that lasts and lasts. Absolutely love this stuff. The EKG is great too, nice and floral. Id like to make the same beer with a different hop. I think ill try Styrians.

Challenger is also a nice hop with a slightly better bang for buck than goldings.

 

[Byran]

Aw shiit just order a few hops and got Styrians so I guess they will have to do. I got a shipload of EKG left would they compliment each other?

 

[lukiferj]

Both will work very nicely with each other. And work with this grain bill. Hard to make anything taste bad with 1469

You got styrians and you're 'making do'?

Best hop ever (and yes delicious with EKG and 1469)

 

[sponge]

Yup, styrians really are the nectar of the gods.. Shouldn't be too hard to make use of them.

I read the recipe in that link to be around a 70C mash. Is this correct? :unsure:

I'm wanting to try out some Bramling Cross but reluctant to put it in any later than 15 minutes. I'm liking 3 hop combos and thinking Challenger EKG and Bramling should be interesting.
Any advice welcome on that hop bill. Anyone used Bramling X?

I also have Styrian but trying to save those for the Belgians. Cheers.

 

[Phillo]

Yes, it is

Wow. I mash my Belgians at 65-66 and still use a buttload of sugar.

Why the simcoe in the mild Donske? Seems a little out of place.

I find it a nuetral bittering hop when using so little, it's just 10g at 60 min, anyone that can detect that has a much better palate than I do.

All good mate. Certainly better bang for buck than goldings as a bitterer. Just curious. I have been using challenger in my milds lately with either ekg or styrians. Love that style. That house pale looks the good too

Yeah, I'd normally just use goldings for bittering but I've got another double brew day next weekend with a stout and an ESB on the cards and only 110g of EKG on hand.

And yeah, the house beer goes down a treat for such a simple beer, been brewing it for about 6 months with little tweaks and have settled on the above recipe for the last 3 or so versions.

Double Brewday tomorrow...
Double Decoction Octoberfest, followed by a Mosaic APA. Looking at a early start, going to be a loong day.
The Octoberfest is very late.. planning on dinking last week in October, and the double decoction is because I've never done one before.

How come you're fermenting at 17degrees with 1469? Just curious. Only used this yeast a couple of times, but always ferment around 20 with english yeasts in English ales
