St. Peter's Honey Porter 4.5% ABV (12 x 500ml)

Product Information

Wood: Using oak chunks soaked in alcohol works well in higher ABV beers that are really rich. You need a stronger porter otherwise the wood will completely overwhelm everything else. Porter Recipe Stout has roasted barley and porter doesn’t. However, my porter recipe included roasted barley so it doesn’t follow this rule. Porter As A Style You will need to use more fruit in a porter than other beer style to get enough flavour to compete with the dark malts.

Coffee & Chocolate: I have included both coffee and chocolate together as they are both flavours that compliment the flavours provided by the roasted and dark malts. Use plenty to get the flavour of coffee or chocolate into the finished beer for it to be noticeable. Sherwood Pale Ale 3.9%– The perfect sessionale pale for any occasion. A citrus burst from this pale ale will leave you wanting after every sip. Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen. After the few first drafts we landed on some great recipes that came from a local brew shop. We received some tips from a couple of home brewers who work in the White House who helped us amend it and make it our own. To be honest, we were surprised that the beer turned out so well since none of us had brewed beer before.There is not much difference between stout and porter and the names have been used interchangeably throughout dark beers existence.

Cromwell Best Bitter 4.4%– Our Cromwell best bitter is a local favourite. A deep amber colour with a rich malt finish. It’s a best bitter for a reason. Larger Brown, Robust, Baltic, English, American and Smoked Can all be used to describe variations of porter. This means that there is some room for experimentation. Hops can be subtle with just enough bitterness to balance the malt or in American porters be quite bold with dry hopping and aroma hops used in abundance.All sizes and measurements are approximate but we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible. Smoked porters, of course, must include a smoked element which is typically a portion of smoked malt. However, we recommend to you, to use 1.5kg of unhopped liquid malt extract (LME) – again the colour appropriate to the type of beer being made (see colour guide below). The exception to this rule is perhaps Baltic Porter which is fermented with a lager yeast and at lower temperatures than every other variety of porter. Other Ingredients Water - Beer is made from 95% water. Tap water will be fine, filtered is better to remove the chlorine will help give you the best result.

WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.Guinness Extra Stout was originally known as Guinness Extra Superior Porter so a large part of the difference comes down to marketing. the bottle states "limited edition van diemen hop" and ill admit i dont know anything about it. is it a bittering hop, an aroma hop, what?? anyway, ill continue with the review.
