Notes

This Export India Porter is free with the hops, just as they would have been in the nineteenth century. And the varieties aren’t specified. That’s not secrecy, it’s because there are no fixed recipes. “We like to experiment with different hop varieties,” says founder Evin O’Riordain. “They can create very different flavours when combined with darker malts, which is fascinating. Bramling Cross is our favourite for a more traditional British character. Columbus works very well for a brasher, New World character.” Use the recipe here as an inspiration, aim for about 48 IBU. The Kernel uses hard London water, with extra calcium chloride.

Dry hop for 3 days before begging


FERMENT 20C/68F, then condition for 10-14 days at 15-20C/59-68F for the beer to carbonate properly
