29 December. Single Stout Porter
Recipe as follows:
75% Marris Otter
15% Biscuit Malt
10% Black Malt
OG 1.067
FG 1.020
ABV 6.1%
Added equal parts chalk and gypsum and 1/2 part calcium chloride to mash. 1.8g and 0.9g respectively
65 IBUs of Columbus @60
Fermented with Mangrove Jacks Kviek, which I believe is the Voss strain. Pitched at 22C and ramped up to 27C
A bit about the beer: I had initially intended to share a Weizenbock, but after some misadventures I had to come up with something else quickly. This is a recipe I have made before and really enjoyed, but the Kveik yeast is a new modification. Time was of the essence, otherwise an Irish or English Ale yeast would be used. The recipe is based on an old blog post from Shut Up About Barclay Perkins chronicling the history of Guinness. I picked it up from an almost equally old episode of BrewingTV on youtube. The original recipe called for a 85/10/5 split of grain percentages, but I altered them because I was going by what I thought I remembered it was and didn't bother to actually look up the recipe before brewing this. I think this is better anyway. At least it's pretty good. The recipe dates back to the late 1800s, roughly 1880, and at the time "Stout" referred only to strength and was not a style in and of itself. Porter was one of the most popular styles and "Single Stout Porter" meant just that. A porter of moderately higher strength.
tl;dr: it's a historic Guinness clone that isn't in any way accurate

Hooray! Chocolate, coffee, roast, and that fun licorice flavour I always get from black malt. It’s what a porter should be, thanks for sharing!

Nice head on this one! Great beer - I was happy to have some more reasonable ABV beers to drink over the holidays, as I usually drink a lot of RIS's, and this one had lots of nice character to it as well. I, too got a little taste of licorice. Nice job.

An absolutely solid stout with plenty of body and a great mouthfeel to balance out the roast character. I quite enjoyed it; thanks.

Yummy! This has so much flavour, I was surprised to see that you managed to get it all into a 6.1% base! Well done!

Delicious. Interesting to see what you can do with Kviek yeast.

Had this last night. Big fan of the flavor profile, enjoyed the chewiness of it, and the hint of anise in the finish was perfect. I wish professional brewers here could make more decent stout like this. Didn't perceive any DMS but I didn't sit with it too long.

Lovely beer. Nothing more to add that wasn't already said above. Really enjoyed the licorice flavours in the finish. Thanks!
