MichaelD19 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hi Guys I've had a challenge put to me to make a brew which tastes similar to Tim Tam, I'm pretty new to this and have received help from the lovely people at coopers and here. I have made a few straight brews and quiet a few "this could work" brews. Any suggestions on chocolate biscuity taste from specific malts etc ? thanks Michael so much fun this brewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien E1 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Wow, that's a bit out there! As a start I'd suggest you want to start with a Porter or Stout and try and get a tim-tammy flavour in from some speciality malts. not sure which I'd go for though...

Hairy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yeah it sounds a bit out there but strangely exciting. You could add some type of biscuit malt like Victory malt. Its about all I can think of. Oh, and obviously chocolate of some sort. Victory Malt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think the hardest part will be making the beer solid so that you can suck your coffee through it [bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***** Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think the hardest part will be making the beer solid so that you can suck your coffee through it [bandit] But what about having the bottle magically refill once you decant it?

Guest Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 You could try something like this.... Coopers English bitter 1kg DDM 100g Wheat chocolate malt, stepped 200g Choc malt, steeped 200g medium crystal US-05 Maybe some Fuggles or EKG at 5 or 10 minutes for an added touch. I reckon a Tim Tam beer would be good primed at a low volume with Nitrogen/Co2. Anyhow it is good to think outside the square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I just put down a brew today that I wanted along very similar lines to what you're after. Coopers Dark Ale 1kg DDM Extract 100g Briess Victory Malt, 30 min steep 150g Thomas Fawcett Pale Choc Malt, 30 min steep 100g Weyermann Rye Caramel Malt, 30 min steep 200g Medium Crystal 25g EKG @ 5 min US-05 Smells fantastic.[love] See how it goes I suppose. . . Cheers, Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
