Notes: I love this mineral profile. I think for next time I’m going to keep the dry hops to two different kinds instead of three. 2 Citra and 3 Amarillo. Anyway the aroma is amazing. Lots of tropical fruit, luscious mouthfeel. Nice hop saturated flavor with very little bitterness.

Notes: This is my attempt at making a beer as delicious as the amazing Plum Porter by Titanic Brewery.

I've brewed this once and it made a very nice beer but lacked some roast character. I think this is because I relied on the Carafa special and amber malt for the roastiness and it was missing a bit of chocolate or roasted barley. Not normally being a big fan of dark beers I was a bit afraid of using these ingredients but if I were making it again I would add 150g of chocolate malt. I also need to look into the amber malt which I have used before and had a much bigger malty hit from. I bought it from the same shop but I wonder if they changed suppliers as it didn't have the same impact on the beer.

I stewed the plums and then added them for the last 10 minutes of the boil as I didn't want to end up with a sour beer. After fermentation I couldn't really detect a significant plum flavour at all so used some natural plum essence http://www.uncleroys.co.uk/natural-flavours/natural-plum-essence.html.

It is potent stuff and after trying an unflavoured pint and adding drops of it till I thought the level was right, i went for 100 drops into 22L in the bottling bucket. I think this was a bit too much at least for my taste. The plum aroma was very strong. The flavour was about right but the aroma was too intense for a beer. If I make it again and I add the chocolate malt I would reduce the plum essence to 75 drops. If I made this recipe again with the lower roastiness I would cut the plum essence back to 60 drops. I'm sure this is a matter of personal taste though.

The yeast I used was actually Brewlabs Essex strain which attenuated a fair bit lower than I planned at 64%.

Remove grains and let it drain into kettle.
Start 60 min boil and hop schedule.

Finish cooling wort with chiller to 70 F and pitch yeast.

Notes: This turned out great. Could use a bit more mouthfeel, and maybe more flavoring hops, but overall very tasty. Nice and sessionable. I would have no issues adding another oz (or two) of cascades!
Very happy with this brew.

Notes: THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT & HAVE NOT BREWED YET. COMMENTS WELCOME

MASH
1.5 quarts per pound of grain (8.50 lbs grain x 1.5 = 3 gallons+3 cups of mash water)
normal calculation is to take desired mash temp, add the grain weight, add 5 degrees.
152 +8.50 +5 =165.5 degree strike temp

BOIL
Consider adding ABV booster
Crystal Hop substitutions: Hallertauer or Liberty

DUNK SPARGE
Heat 1.5 gallons of water to 170 F. Remove bag, squeeze, place in bucket, dump 170F water on it, let sit 10-20 minutes and pour that back into your boil kettle. If you have some left over you can add that to the boil to reduce boil off volume.

PRIMARY
14 Days at 68 Degrees

SECONDARY
Secondary w/ Gelatin Finings
• boil 2/3 cup water to sterilize
• wait until temp reaches 150°
• stir in 1 tsp gelatin until dissolved
• let sit for 10-15 mins to "bloom"
• do not let it cool below 120°
• dump in secondary
• rack beer into secondary on top of gelatin
• let sit 24 hours at 68°
• drop temp to as close to 40° as possible for 2-3 days
• transfer to bucket and bottle

BOTTLE & CARBONATE

Notes: This recipe is designed with the following targets in mind, given directly from the head brewer at Founders:

10% Carapils, 5% Munich, 5% crystal 60, 2.5% caramunich
16.5 Plato (1.068 SG)
65 IBU
Massive flavor strike and dry hopping (obviously Centennial)

In the end I think it comes pretty close and turns out to be a delicious brew! I'm using Magnum for the bittering given it's high alpha, it's usually my go-to bittering hop. But this could be done with exclusively Centennial (like Two Hearted) if that is preferred.

July 2022 note: ramped it up to 5 gallons
