Yeast: WHC Old English
Attenuation: 76 – 80%

Aroma: Neutral. Low ester

My IBU: 48
Recipe: OG: 1065 FG: 1016 ABV: 6.4%
Achieved: OG: 1068 FG: 1020 ABV: 6.3%
Notes: .
– Recipe said Wyeast London ESB 1968.
– Did 30mins at 64ºC last 30 at 67ºC. Accident not intended.
– Did 1 hour boil not 90mins as ABV was high.
– Did 100g Chocolate, Crystal 150g as sold measures and I forgot to use less.
– Way too much Amber? Feels like 3% Amber 7% Crystal. 1% choc
Do again: 19% Amber was a way too large amount. Some porters do 10-15%. It was a nice strong Porter. Not a ESB. No real inclination to do again.
Try:
86% Golden Promise malt
5% Amber
8% Dark Crystal
1% choc.
90 min boil
5% sugar. |

Notes: Adapted from a Founders Porter clone recipe found on Homebrew Talk: https://homebrewtalk.com/threads/any-founders-porter-clone-recipes-or-info.160119/post-2063514
- Reduced Chocolate Malt from 1.25 to 1 lb
- Swapped out 6 oz Crystal Malt (120L) for 6 oz English Dark Crystal Malt (80L)
- MISTAKE: Munich Malt is a base malt, so I should not have steeped it as a specialty grain, at least not a whole pound of it. I'll see how the beer comes out with it steeped, but next time I will use 6 lbs of Gold LME and 2 lbs of Munich LME, without steeping any Munich Malt (OR do a partial mash, but I don't have the equipment for that yet). I might also reduce the amount of Carapils since there is a small amount of that in Briess Gold LME.
Brewing, Finishing, and Packaging Notes:
Brewed: Sunday, November 22nd, 2025
- OG: 1.057
Tested (first sample): Friday, December 5th, 2025
- FG: 1.013 or 1.014 (75% attenuation; 5.64% ABV)
- Raised temperature of primary fermnenter to 70 degrees
Tested (second sample): Sunday, December 7th, 2025
- FG: 1.012 (78% attenuation; 5.91% ABV)
Bottled (without hazelnut or vanilla additions): Sunday, December 7th, 2025
- 11 12-ounce bottles with fizzy drops
Hazelnut Addition: Sunday, December 7th, 2025
- Roasted 13 ounces of raw hazelnuts for 25 minutes at 325 degrees
- Blanched roasted hazelnuts in 190 degree water for 5 minutes, then transferred to bowl of ice water and rubbed off the skins as much as possible
- Added hazelnuts to “Depth Charge” stainless steel mesh filter infuser and dropped into primary fermenter
Tested (third sample) on Sunday, December 14th, 2025 (7 days of hazelnut infusion)
- Hazelnut aroma and flavor was subtle but present
- I considered leaving them in for a few more days, but I want to see how the subtler nuttiness works with the vanilla addition
Prepared Vanilla Tincture: Sunday, December 14th, 2025
- Mixed 3.5 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste into 3 teaspoons (1 tbsp) of bourbon and placed in refrigerator
- Planning to add vanilla tincture when kegging
Added Vanilla-Bourbon Tincture and Kegged: Wednesday, December 17th, 2025
- Added entire tincture (3.5 tsp mixed in 1 tbsp of bourbon)
- Racked into keg and set CO2 to 20 psi
Tasting Notes:
- Body is a bit lighter than I expected, I wonder if it would be worth using more Carapils next time. This could also be attributed to steeping the Munich malt instead of mashing.
- Vanilla flavor is present while not being too dominant, which I was concerned about. I would also be willing to add 1 more teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, but I assume any more would be too much and even 1 more teaspoon might produce more vanilla flavor than I like.
- Hazelnut is subtle and mostly shows on the finish; Next time, I will let the hazelnuts rest in the fermenter for at least 10 days.
- Overall, I'm very happy with this beer. It would be interesting to try this again with a more stout-like grain bill or with smaller adjustments that give it a fuller body.
Pre-Brew Notes:
- Will add detail for the hazelnut and vanilla additions for secondary after more research.
- I plan to add ~6-12 ounces of roasted, chopped hazelnuts for up to a week after primary fermentation is completed.
- I plan to add 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla bean paste mixed into vodka or bourbon after removing the hazelnuts.

Notes: The recipe uses reverse osmosis water. Adjust all brewing water to a pH of 5.5 using phosphoric acid. Add 0.5 tsp. calcium chloride and 0.5 tsp. calcium sulfate to the mash.
Mash in at 147 *F and rest for 60 min. Raise to 168* for 15 min, recirculating the wort. Fly spare with 170* water collecting 6.5 gallons of wort.
Boil the wort for 90 Min adding hops at the time indicated in recipe. First wort hops are added to boil kettle before sparging. Whirlpool hops are added after boil and 15 min have past. Stir the hops in and rest an additional 15 min.
Chill the wort to 65*F, pitch the yeast and ferment until complete.
Rack the beer if desired and dry hops for 3 days.
