Hey all,
I'm, trying to recreate a porter brewed by one of our local breweries. Their website gives just a bit of information about the beer:
In quotes:
6.8 ABV
45 IBU
32 SRM
Notes of: Chocolate, Caramel, Coffee, Dark Fruits
Style - Robust Porter
Marris Otter, Brown, Caramel, and Choc malts
Northern Brewer hops
End quotes
I'll definitely back the notes of Choc, caramel and coffee on this one.. It's magical.
I've tried starting with a generic porter recipe and scaling up, but the 6.8 ABV has me stumped.. I just keep ramping up the base malt but haven't done anything with the adjuncts to compensate.
Curious to see what others would recommend here. Here is my starting point which only gets me to about 1.052 according to Brewfather. Hop schedule also a guess, but based on another Porter recipe.
9.5 lbs Pale Malt
1.25 lbs Choc Malt
10 oz Dextrine
8 oz Brown Malt
8 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt
Hops
Northern Brewer
1 oz @ 60
.5 @ 30
.5 @ 20
.25 at 2 min
Any tips suggestions appreciated.
