Baton Rouge Brown Porter – Brewed June

June 17th, 2012

So our Brasseurs a la Maison club competition is porter for the sake of sending the beer to the club competition in the AHA.    This was coincidental to my latest decision to go on a British style brewing rampage so I’m pushing the ESB and sweet stout until July although I’m ordering all the ingredients for all of the brews.    I love the English style brown porters especially the Taddy porter from Samuel Smith.   I’ll be brewing Jamil’s with a slight variation in chocolate and crystal malts.   I want more actual chocolate taste so I’ll be using pale chocolate.   Pale chocolate is slightly sweet so I’ll reduce the crystal addition.   Hopefully it’ll work out and be a a very nice porter.  Salt additions will likely involve calcium carbonate, gypsum and/or Epson salts.

Here is the original brew game plan:

Mash Water Modification For 5 gallons prepared mash water volume with the intention of using 4 of it.  75% Baton Rouge water 25% distilled with 3/4 teaspoon chalk, 1/4 teaspoon Epson salt and 1/3 teaspoon calcium chloride.   If we drop the volume to 4 gallons prepared the chalk will become 1/2 teaspoon and the calcium chloride 1/4 teaspoon.   1 teaspoon of Irish Moss rehydrated.

How it went down:

Everything went very smooth.  I hit the mash temperature right but for some reason before I could run off enough liquid the gravity fell below 1.010 which caused me to stop it there.   Original gravity was about 1.049 which is slightly lower but I think it’s because the grain ran clean fast.   I may need to adjust my efficiency or just run off more wort until I get to the 1.007 area.

After 10 days the final gravity was at 1.013 which tends to make me think adding a little DME would’ve been a good idea in this situation.  However the results I got resulted in a great tasting beer with a nice balance of chocolate, roast, nutty and sweet flavors.   Currently carbonating.

<NOTES>Differs from a robust porter in that it usually has softer, sweeter and more caramelly flavors, lower gravities, and usually less alcohol.  More substance and roast than a brown ale.  Higher in gravity than a dark mild.  Some versions are fermented with lager yeast.  Balance tends toward malt more than hops.  Usually has an “English” character.  Historical versions with Brettanomyces, sourness, or smokiness should be entered in the Specialty Beer category (23).</NOTES>

English Style Brews For July 2012

May 30th, 2012

After spending half of 2011 and the first part of 2012 brewing nothing but pilsner, schwarzbier, helles and bock I’ve decided to move over to the UK.   I love strong bitters, brown porters and have a fun idea of producing a Community Coffee Sweet(Milk) Stout so I’m going to spend some time there.   So to kick things off I’m brewing the following two recipes for July June 2012.   Much of their makeup is from Brewing Classic Styles.    I’m thinking that ale brewing may be somewhat relaxing after all the time I’ve spent laboring over lagers.  I moved these recipes to July for the sake of brewing porter for a competition.

<NOTES>More evident malt and hop flavors than in a special or best bitter.  Stronger versions may overlap somewhat with old ales, although strong bitters will tend to be paler and more bitter.  Fuller’s ESB is a unique beer with a very large, complex malt profile not found in other examples; most strong bitters are fruitier and hoppier. Judges should not judge all beers in this style as if they were Fuller’s ESB clones.  Some modern English variants are brewed exclusively with pale malt and are known as golden or summer bitters. Most bottled or kegged versions of UK-produced bitters are higher-alcohol versions of their cask (draught) products produced specifically for export.  The IBU levels are often not adjusted, so the versions available in the US often do not directly correspond to their style subcategories in Britain.  English pale ales are generally considered a premium, export-strength pale, bitter beer that roughly approximates a strong bitter, although reformulated for bottling (including containing higher carbonation).</NOTES>
