Recipe suggestions?

Sadly the OG was 1056, quite disappointing really. I ended up with 25l and my sparging technique probably contributed to it as well.

On the plus side, I've found a spot in the house that is 15 degrees so hopefully it will be true to style in that sense.

Was gonna post the brew day up but am too disappointed! Hopefully this weeks brew is more successful.

Cheers

That's not the end of the world. If that Workhorse yeast is all it's cracked up to be, and ferments down to a nice low gravity, you'll still have a nice alcoholic porter there. Cheers to you!

Hey Bert, I forgot to follow-up: how did your Baltic Porter turn out?

Hi Seymour, I kegged it before leaving home for Christmas about 2 weeks ago. I am on my final train home now so will be giving it a try soon. More exciting than waiting for Santa on Christmas eve - will let you know!

Oh you lucky dog! Well, fingers crossed, and cheers!

And here it is


I'm not the best by far at reviewing beer but here goes,

This porter has such a rich vinous but pleasant initial taste on gulping it down. It's so malty and so dark with almost a coffee type aroma. The aftertaste is very hoppy but clean and crisp. This is the best dark beer I have made and I will be making it again. I kept it at 9 degrees roughly for 2 months, it would benefit from another month I guess? But I am really happy with the result.

Cheers Seymour! I will be in touch for another excellent recipe soon if that's alright!

Glad it came out so nice, good work!
