Wild Pecan Porter V3.0
Style: 12a. Brown Porter
Batch Size: 6.5 gal
Boil Size: 8.0 gal
Boil Time: 60 min
Efficiency: 85%
SG: 1.046
OG: 1.056
FG: 1.013
ABV: 5.6%
Bitterness: 24.7 IBU
Color: 26.8 SRM
Pale 2 Row - 7lbs
Pecan - 2 lbs
Flaked Barley - 1 lb
Marris Otter - 1 lb
Roasted Barley - 10 oz
Crystal 60 - 10 oz
Crystal 120 - 10 oz
Chocolate Malt - 4 oz
Cara-Pils - 4 oz
Northern Brewer - .25 oz @ 10.6 AA - 6.9 IBU @ 45 min
Northern Brewer - 1 oz @ 10.6 AA - 15 IBU @ 15 min
Cascade - 1 oz - 2.8 IBU @ 5 min

Mash 5 gal @ 153F for 60 min
Batch Sparge 2.5 gal for 10 min
Batch Sparge 2.5 gal for 10 min
Use rolling pin to crush pecans. Roast pecans on a large cookie sheet @ 300F for 15 min. Remove from over, cover with paper towels to soak up oils and crush. Repeat 4 times. Add pecans directly to mash for full mash time.
Ferment at 63F for 2-3 weeks. Cold crash at approx 36F for 1 week. Once bottled it will be ready to drink in 2 weeks but gets better with age. I have had samples of this beer at 1 year after bottling and although the pecan had become very subtle, the beer was still very good.
This is the #1 favorite of any beer I make. I can't keep enough of it on hand. The pecan flavor and aroma is outstanding, but not overpowering. If you like porter, I highly recommend that you try this beer.
Cheers
