rdeselle,

I have brewed this with much success. You will need to exchange Bourbon for Whiskey but it may fill the bill?

http://www.northernbrewer.com/documenta ... Porter.pdf
Bourbon barrel-aged beers have been a hugely popular style ever since their inception in the early '90s by American craft brewers. By starting with a stronger-than-average robust porter, then infusing it with Bourbon-soaked oak (we recommend Maker's Mark), the end result is quite possibly the best beer ever. You'll have to supply your own bourbon - save a little to sip on brew day to really capture the spirit. The intense aroma and flavor of toasted American oak and the sweet graininess of good bourbon meld with the bittersweet roastiness of porter to make for a very characterful beer. Recommended: 2-stage fermentation and yeast starter.

rdeselle,
Sorry Bob, I think what I was "TRYING" to ask you was if you brew this recipe as is or have you converted to BIAB using the BIABACUS?
As is! You never have to convert any recipe to BIAB? :salute: There is just the recipe and weather you are 3V or biab you brew it exactly the same. BIABacus is a more defined and refined brewing program that is more accurate than existing (paid) programs. Just go to the PDF file and print it. I scribble right on the sheet as I brew and record it later on.

Bob,

When you grab a recipe like this from norther brewer, how do you go about determining the amount of water you need. Im Always interested in how everybody else does things.

2trout,

I figure 8.5 gallons (32.2 liters) on average for every beer. I have a weld in the keggel that is about the right height? I just fill to that mark each time and brew. If I am doing 90 minutes I will go 9 gallons (34.0 liters). It is generally a furious boil for me so the evaporation rate will be different for everyone? If I am a bit short or long it's not a bit deal! :smoke:

I still use mostly (85%) of my recipes from Northern Brewer. If they sell they must be good? The format is easy to read and can be converted to BIABacus easily. :thumbs:

Well this recipe is now in the primary fermenter, I ended up making it using a 3v system as my BIAB bags had not arrived yet, I hit 1.065 OG as it went into the primary, this morning it was in full ferment. Thanks all for the recipe, now I'm looking for a good lighter ale not as hoppy as and IPA what would you all suggest?

jerryd68,

As I mentioned before. I brew mostly recipes from Northern Brewer. How about this description???
One of the few styles that American brewers can legitimately call their own.
This classic beer brings together brisk hop flavor and a coppery golden color to make
a refreshing pint that is still flavorful enough to enjoy year-round. Our American Amber
features a firm malty base supporting assertive American hops, a reddish-amber hue
and a lingering off-white head of foam. Not quite a pale ale and not quite a brown,
this well-balanced beer has a smooth and versatile flavor that you’ll want to come
back to again and again. Try pairing this ale with anything from pizza to seafood.

Otherwise look here and read the descriptions. :geek:

Remember to click on the beer you want to see and then click on the tab on the lower part of the screen [Additional Information] and then click on [Click Here!] to see (or download) the recipe!
Cheers! :salute:

Bob, that looks like what I am after, I will most likely try this next, I have never ordered from Northern as we have a local HB shop and his prices are actually quite a bit less than anything I can order online, plus I like to support our local guy as he is a fellow beer lover!

jerryd68,

I buy locally whenever I can. It makes sense to support the people who support you. I use the recipes and will buy online only when the locals don't have what I need. I do let my local shop know when I buy on-line. It gives them a better idea what to stock! :think:
