I wanted to make this in the style of a Baltic Porter … but it came out a bit too light (might not even count as a porter, maybe rather a brown ale), and a Baltic Porter is traditionally a lager (I’m not lagering yet), so let’s just call this Beer.<\/p>\n
My original recipe had 8oz of Amber malt, but Nepenthe didn’t have this. Brian suggested I sub 6oz Amber malt and 1oz Carafa II for the 8oz Red malt, so that’s what ended up in the recipe.<\/p>\n
I broke the hydrometer during the boil (not In the boil, thankfully), so I have no idea what the original gravity is. Oh well, still gonna call it Beer!! The first runnings came in at 1.074 at 140*. Extrapolating through Moser’s partigyle tables, that would suggest the final wort would be around 1.06 pre-boil. There’s probably a way to guesstimate what the gravity of the wort was after boiling, but I’m not sure it’s worth it right now. Maybe I’ll do this later!<\/p>\n
Recipe Type:<\/strong>\u00a0All-Grain 13 # Maris Otter 1oz Northern Brewer, 60 minutes Strike with 5 gallons of water at 168*F to reach target 155*F mash (? did I really do this ? I’m going from the settings for the recipe in BrewPal)<\/p>\n Sparge with 3+ gallons of water at 180*F<\/p>\n UPDATE<\/p>\n I bottled this some time during the week of Nov 11th. I’m drinking it now at Nov 25th. It’s hardly carbed, a bit sweet and a little green. It’ll turn out like a dark brown ale by the time it hits it’s stride. If lagered, this might not be a bad candidate for doppelbock or something similar.<\/p>\n UPDATE 1\/12\/14<\/p>\n malty, rich, and complex. Maybe this needs a few months from the brewdate to mature \ud83d\ude42 Definitely aging well.<\/p>\n UPDATE 3\/21\/14 rich, complex, fruit with a hint of plum, warming,\u00a0similar to a Belgian double in some respects, and definitely worth brewing again. Next time, I need to let it sit and bottle condition for at least three months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I wanted to make this in the style of a Baltic Porter … but it came out a bit too light (might not even count as a porter, maybe rather a brown ale), and a Baltic Porter is traditionally a lager (I’m not lagering yet), so let’s just call this Beer.
