First recipe outside of a kit, wanted to create a dark beer with some sweet. So a sweet porter seemed like the way to go! We called it the Abomination Sweet Stout (A.S.S.) due to our lack of experience.
We started with 2.5 gallons of water for the steeping of the grains. Grains were steeped in a muslin bag for 20 minutes, temperature during the steep ranged from 155-165. Bring water to boil after.
Turn off flame, add extract and stir to mix in.
Bring water to boil again, add Whirlfloc tablet.
Follow hop times, and when to add honey.
We decide to try something new and added oak chips into the carboy during the primary...we sanitized them by putting them in a pot with just enough water to cover them, boiled it then drained the water out. Filled it a second time with water boiled it and added the water and oak chips to 5 gallon carboy.
