Batch #6
Name/Type Malt Extract: Telford's Porter
Name: Pacific Porter
Yeast: with kit
Date Brewed: 7/10/94
Assistant Brew Master: Karin
Recipe: #6 with variations (Heavy Body)
- Ingredients:
- 2 tins malt extract
- 2 Tsps Brewing Salts (Wine King)
- 3/4 lb Crystal Malt (2 cups)
- 1/4 lb Chocolate Malt (3/4 cups - cracked)
- 1/4 lb (1 cup) Black Patent Malt
- 1 oz Northern Brewers Hops (Bittering; 20 minutes)
- 1 oz Fuggel Hops (Aromatic) 5 minutes
Preparation Remarks: Used malt extract and sugar in the yeast starter.
Grain soaked for 30 minutes. Lots of immediate color from the grain.
Thick, dark wort in the brew pot (2 tins of malt extract). Great yeast
starter (over 2" head in jar). Grain bag provided lots of color in the
primary. Some undissolved hops were in the bottom of brew pot; dumped it
into the primary. After 4 hours, a 1" head of light frothy foam formed.
Transfered on day 3; hop residue along sides (2") and floating in the wort.
Aromatic. Some action still in the primary. The suspended hop residue
clogged the transfer 3-4 times. We just cleared the clog as soon as there
was a slow down in the siphon, and the transfer process went smooth.
Carboy completely filled. On Bottling, the carboy was very clean; not a
lot of sediment on the bottom.
Tasting Remarks: On transfer, smooth, dark, heavy body with good taste and
hop developing. Will need 4 weeks in the bottle to really develop. On
bottling, a smooth, not so heavy body, with a dark taste. It is good
already! 8/6: not so heavy body, smooth first taste with a rich dark
second taste. Not much hop taste. It was ready sooner than I expected. A
nice balanced, rich porter!
