King Ruddager Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Here's what I've done so far: OS Lager that came with the kit European Lager English Bitter Old Spiced Dark Ale Basic Amber Ale (first hopped beer) Irish Coffee Stout Dr Smurtos Golden Ale (first use of specialty grains) English Honey Bitter ... so based on that, what would logically come next? I'm open to specialty grains and whatnot, but not a mash (no equipment) and I wouldn't be able to keep a lager cold enough either. Recipe me up!!

Canadian Eh!L Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 How 'bout a 'Big Island IPA'?[bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Here's two options maybe. 1. Weggl's Amber Yak 2. PB2's Motueka Slam IPA I have made the Amber Yak and it's going fast - I slightly modified the recipe based on ingredients I had. I used DME instead of the dextrose and upped all the hops [love] 30g of Cascade and Nelson @ 10mins, 20g of Nelson @ flame out and Dry hopped with 10g of Nelson.

Hairy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I recommend that you make an IPA and hop the bejesus out of it. I recently made an IPA from the Coopers Draught kit with 95g of flavour and aroma hops. It's nice but I should have added heaps more [devil] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well I went to the LHBS and started asking about IPAs. He asked me about the styles I liked and I didn't know, but then I spotted some chocolate grain and remembered CraigTube's Porter, so looked that up recipe and bought everything I need. I think the store owner was a little amused by the complete 180 I did! I'll post up the recipe when I've got things a bit more organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Righto, here's what I've got Can of Coopers English Bitter 1.5kg light LME 500g light DME 500g crystal grains 250g chocolate grains 25g fuggles @ 10 mins It certainly doesn't look like a porter though - just kinda dark brown instead. Ah well, we'll see what happens [smile] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I think when I made a porter using this kit I used about 250g chocolate malt and it came out pretty darn black. You could see through it when held up to the light, but mostly it just looked black. At any rate, mine was a mighty nice drop. That seems like a hell of a lot of crystal man, was all that in Craig's recipe? [rightful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Oh ok I didn't realise that was considered to be so much. I checked though and it's according to Craig's recipe, which can be found here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 i did a similar brew but with some black patent malt - making it much darker. Porter's can range from brown to almost black, depending on the type - your ing. would equate to roughly 48.4 EBC fitting in the Brown Porter style, whereas mine was about 69 - a Robust Porter [ninja] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***** Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Can of Coopers English Bitter 1.5kg light LME 500g light DME 500g crystal grains 250g chocolate grains 25g fuggles @ 10 mins I reckon you're gonna love the EB can as a base for a Porter. I did one, can't remember who posted the original but there is a link to the recipe in my signature. I love it and another one is one my list, however I am not contemplating using any additional hop as I can't see them adding to this beer. As with Adam mine was a robust Porter. I love stuff that is Robust, and I am pretty Robust after a couple as well [ninja] . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
