- Smooth, malty. Slight roast undertones and hints from plumb from Special B.
This beer is a staple around my house, and vanishes very quickly. Wife calls it the "Panty Dropper" Assume 93% Efficiency, adjust %'s accordingly:
10.5 Gallons
13lbs Marris Otter Crisp
2lbs Caramunich I
0.5lb Chocolate (350, BRIESS)
0.5lb Special B.
Mash @ 152 for 60m.
Boil for 90m.
8.5 AAU Target @ 90m.
2.1 AAU Fuggles @ 30m
Whirflock / Nutrient at 15m.
WLP005 Drops out quickly and cleanly without a secondary fermentation. I go straight from Primary to keg.
I've made countless gallons of this beer over the years, making small tweaks along the way , but this recipe is a keeper and has been hard to keep on tap. I've done 5 batches of it this way so far.
This beer responds very well to different yeast strains, and would suggest splitting it if doing 10 gallons using WLP002 for the other half (Wyeast: 1318 / 1098). I prefer a little more of the roast character in my browns. I've made this a few times with half as much Chocolate and its still great, but not the same.
