Chevalier malt addition.

[Rookie]

I rebrewed a Porter recipe recently (bottled today) and replaced some of the maris otter with chevalier malt. It turned out awesome. Waiting two weeks is not going to be easy.

I only lasted six days.

That looks nice. What does the chevalier add to the beer beyond the Maris Otter version? Not used chevalier myself and interested!

I get a sort of honeyness; I love the stuff.

Needs a good long mash in my experience; 90 mins or longer.

It really shines in historical recipes which isn't exactly surprising!

When you say "some"? How much? What was the recipe?

Not if mixed with some modern malt. I only mashed for 45 minutes and got the same O G as when I used strictly modern pale ale malt.

I just brewed this on monday. I did a 45 minute mash and ended up with 3.25 gallons at 1.040 instead of the 3 gallons at 1.042 I was shooting for.

I tried one of the milds a week after bottling. Carbonation is still a bit light, but the taste is great.
