    Re: Beer Brewers Anonymous...

    Ive been doing AG now for a few years, kits and extracts before that.
    Recently I decided to slightly change a honey porter I make and added a double shot of my own roasted coffee as well as some double Dutch cocoa - should be yummy, its aging in the keg at the moment.

        Cheers, but there is still more plans to develop.
        Priority now is a keg freezer before our fourth is born, I think after that it will be ingredients only for a while - for both my types of brewing!

          Im the coffee guru. Hubby, the beer (and spirits....ssshhh). Saw a great idea on the forum to add the coffee to the beer. He will probably try it some time. As for me Ill stick to my coffee. He does beer only in kegs after getting to sick of bottle washing and sediment. The other problem with bottles is having just a glass or two.

            Re: Beer Brewers Anonymous...

            Moved house last weekend with the help of some of the fellas, without me knowing they threw the keg of Coffee-Choc porter in the back of a trailer with everything else and put at the back of the garage with everything in front, one of the seals didnt hold out and the day after I could smell stale beer. All the gas had escaped and frothed out.

            All cleaned up and back on the gas in the fridge now and just tasted it, seems ok - not the same but drinkable I guess....  :-[

            Brewing an Amarillo Ale now and about to roast some coffee whilst surfing between here, AHB and eating some cheese and crackers....

                Notes:
                ------
                0. Based on Doc Smurtos Golden Ale Recipe
                1. No Chill Recipe, Adjusted IBU should be roughly 38
                2. Zero min addition added 5mins prior to putting into cube


                The recipe has been adjusted a fair bit as I threw in bits and pieces to finish up some grains I had lying about. In the original recipe there is more wheat.

                Next weekend Im going to do either an Aussie Ale or Rosss Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale
