Let us know how that coconut porter turns out, I've never tried one but perhaps I will brew one someday... My Coconut Porter is long gone now. IMO it could've had loads more coconut flavour in it. Some ppl noticed the taste at once, others never found the flavour. But when you say it is a porter, e...

I will do. Kegging the 2 APAs in a few days. Guess I will have my first bottle of the porter in july.

Cherry Saison sounds really interesting. I've been thinking about cherry fruit beer for some time, but I don't think I'll do it this year.

Hi David, nice pics, one thing I'm not understanding is why your kettle to fermentor loss would affect your OG? Original gravity should stay more or less the same after the boil, no matter how much trub you dump in your fermentor. In any case, I'm sure it will turn out to be great beer! :) I wasn't...

Today I'm brewing my attempt at a coconut porter (viewtopic.php?f=43&t=3318). It's been a very cold spring, so today is one of our first "summer" days. So I'm brewing outside. I've mashed in, so now I'm waiting and tweaking the coconut addition. Got organic coconut, and a whole coconut. Haven't deci...

Yes. I'm going to treat them the same way as orange peel or cilantro seeds. Or that's the intent. Bought some coconut yesterday, so I haven't been able to make the "tea" yet. If the coconut looses it's flavor during cooking, I have to concider putting it in after the primary fermentation.

Thank you. Almost went for a Robust Porter while I slept last night. But I want more toasty than roasted for this first attempt, so I'll stick with brown porter for now. So I'm putting an order in for the grain bill, and using Nottingham since it floculates well. Going to bottle this batch, and move...

Thanks for the input. You're right, I should aim for a higher FG. I'm going to raise the mash temp some, 68C (154,4F). An AA of 75% (just guessing) should bring a FG of 1,013. OG and FG should then be in the upper range of the style I'm aiming for, Brown Porter. I used Brewing Classic Styles as a re...

Coconut Porter

Some years ago I saw a you tube video of a guy having a beer tasting of a coconut porter. I've never tasted the brand he drank or any other coconut porter but I found the idea of the mix quite intriguing. So here is my attempt. Going to brew it very soon. [center] BIABacus Pre-Release 1.3T RECIPE RE...

Isn't the attenuation as expected according to the yeast you've used and the mesh temperature? I've gotten 79% attenuation with the White Labs version (WLP028) of possibly the same strain of yeast, http://www.mrmalty.com/yeast.htm. But my wort had a much lower OG, 1.048 and the mesh temp was 64 deg ...

And the first screw up. Wasn't using BIABacus all the way, so I didn't catch the 7 liter Kettle to Fermentor loss. I have way less loss than that, or I'm rather uncritical to adding trub into my fermentor. So OG is 1.044 instead of 1.037. Could've just added more water, but I'm to lazy to bottle the...

My brewing "log".

Hoy, Thought I should post my first brew since I joined up on this forum. A split batch single hopped low ABV APA. The grain bill is a downgraded version of my favorite norwegian APA, Voss Oregonian. Pale Ale Malt 92% Vienna 4% Munich 4% I'm aiming at 3,6 % ABV. Fermenting both with WLP028, since Vo...
