Notes: LEGER'S LUCIOUS PORTER
brewed by Kris Leger

The is a recipe adapted from a 5 gallon batch recipe from the Brew Your Own publication "30 Great Beer Styles" by Jamil Zainasheff. The style is the BJCP style 19A, American Amber Ale.

This batch requires an initial 3.00 gallons of water, from your local source. SPRING WATER IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you are using local water, a 1/2 Campden tablet (to remove chlorine) needs to added as the water is filling your pot, along with the addition of 0.25 oz of gypsum and 0.5 oz Calcium Chloride (Jim Boudreaux will provide the water salts and the Campden tablet, carefully measured out.

The Campden tablet is NOT needed if Spring Water is used, as this water is not chlorinated.

Add the water salts (and stir thoroughly), then add the malt extract as the pot is heating up, making sure you are stirring until all the extract is mixed in. Stir until everything is fully blended together.

Add the steeping grains now (in nylon small bag, provided by Jim Boudreaux). Allow water temperature to heat up to 170° F. THEN SHUT OFF HEAT AND REMOVE POT FROM THE BURNER.

After the 15 minute steep, REMOVE THE GRAINS FROM THE POT, and using a strainer, allow the bag to drain into a separate container. Add the boiling hops (0.25 oz.) provided in the mesh bag. NOW, put the pot back on the heat, and while stirring every so often, it will ramp up to a boil.

When temperature reaches the boil, maintain a full boil, but a moderate one. Add the drained grain bag liquid from the other container. This small amount of liquid contains aromatics and flavors that do not come from the extract, and every bit helps. It is best NOT to squeeze the bag, because this could cause extraction of undesirable tannins (tea bag taste).

When wort has been boiling for 30 min, add the 0.25 oz of Cascade hops (Hop Addition 1).

At 10 minutes before the end of the boil, add the 0.5 oz of Citra hops hop addition 2).

A 25% reduction in volume is expected to occur with the one hour boil. This is why 3 gallons is the initial volume of water.

A 5 gallon pot is ideal, stainless steel is best. There will be plenty of room in the pot to prevent boil-overs when using the 5 gallon pot.

Best way to chill is to put entire pot into a large pail of water and ice, WITH THE POT COVERED.

After the one-hour boil, remove the hop bags, then chill the wort. Continue the process of getting the wort into the sanitized Mr. Beer fermenter. As wort is going into the fermentor, allow it to splash around in order for the wort to absorb oxygen from the air. Don't completely fill the vessel, leave some head space.

PREPARING THE YEAST
(Do this while the wort is chilling)

Take the yeast packet out of the fridge either the night before or the morning of the brew day to let the temperature of the yeast packet rise to room temperature.

When wort is safely in fermenter, sprinkle the contents of the yeast packet into the Mr. Beer fermentor, and rock the closed fermentor back and forth, to mix in the yeast.

When fermentation is complete (usually takes about a week), prime and bottle as usual.

Notes: Add 1.5g baking soda, 0.4g gypsum.

Bring water to 75C, steep specialty malts for 30 mins. Forgot to turn off the heat (lowest flame), when remove lid bring up to boil only used 2mins (water raise from 75C to appox. 88C in these 30 mins?)

Bring to boil, add 6g sorachi-ace and boil for 15mins, then flame out and add malt extract (1kg LME) - used 15 mins for adding the LME as found initial extract have mold.

Bring to boil again, and top up water to 4L. Add 2g sorachi ace and boil for 5 mins, flame out. Cool down wort to 80C and add 6g Nelson Sauvin, hop stand for 10 mins. wort temp drop to 65C in 10 mins. Cool down wort to 23C, pitch 5g dry yeast.

Refractometer reading 1.076, 0.011pt lower than expected, may due to haven't done enough sparging for the steeping malt.

Ferment in room temp (20C)

Priming 2.0 vol CO2 - since I only bottle 1 (500ml), added 1.8g sugar for priming. 1.1g for second bottle (375ml)

Other 2L goes in force carbonation - 8g Co2 cartridge in 15 psi, chill in 5C. After 72 hours noticed that the psi gone up to 20 psi. Close the gas gauge and let it chill for 72 hours more. When open notice no Co2 and no foam, maybe due to no shaking the beer in the process. Replace a new 8g Co2 cartridge and give it a shake 2-3 times a day. After 48 hours served with beautiful foam - Shaking is very important!

Clear flavor profile, some acetyldehyde (green apple), toasted coffee cocoa, some hints of chocolate. Can serve as a good base to add some more ingredients e.g. peanut butter, cocoa nibs, vanilla, etc.

Notes: Specialty grains get steeped at 155 degrees Fahrenheit for a full hour, outside of that, routine brew...make sure your blowoff tube is well attached, though! I usually use leftover hops in this recipe, the high IBU is a good way to get rid of spare.

This one sure isn't going to win any competitions, it's it's own style. Taste-wise, it's somewhere between an American barleywine, some kind of Belgian, and some kind of strong stout. Personally, I like it!
