Ghost Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Does anyone know of or made a recipe for Mahogany Porter using Coopers base? I made one batch of Cascade Mahogany Porter last winter and enjoyed it as a winter beer, but want to be faithful to Coopers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I grabbed the choc mahog porter when it first hit the shelves, fermented it up and analysed it - gotta keep an eye on the competition :wink: The bitterness was low for a dark brew, around the 22IBU mark. This is about the same as our Original Series Lager and slightly higher than our International Series Australian Pale Ale. The colour was light, only around that of our Original Series Bitter. Without knowing what recipe you made the choc mahog porter to, perhaps try a can of Pale Ale + 1.5kg Dark Malt mixed to 23litres - and add late hops of your choice.

Ghost Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Sounds great Paul. I will try that recipe this weekend. Thank heaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 It's in the fermenter now. Used the Pale Ale with Dark malt. Left out finishing hops as I wanted to avoid adding any more bitterness. Spot on Paul, the local brew shop said the colour is the same as Original series bitter just as you said. I know it will tase better because I used 100% Coopers ingredients :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Finishing hops are not meant to increase bitterness - their purpose is flavour and aroma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Found this recipe, for Porter, any thoughts on the hops? I guess they are dry? This is similar to Paul's recipe except they use C/ Bitter Ale. What hops did you use Paul and how much? The recipe does not mention the volume, is it 23L?

PB2 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm guessing "(standard method)" would be steeping the hop tea bags in hot water for a number of minutes?? From memory, JS Porter doesn't have overt hop aroma. [sideways] 23 litres is likely to be the intended volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Anybody know where to buy Morgans Chocolate Malt Extract? SydneyMaybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weggl Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thank Muddy, checked his web site but somehow I missed it, I know I'm a bit sloppy, should read more carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Don't feel bad Weggl - It took me a bit of digging [biggrin] [pinched] His website is a mess with little or no info which is why I rarely buy from him. Craftbrewer and Coopers get my business [rightful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
