Based around the Fullers London Porter Recipe in the GW book, a mixture of using up some odd ends of malts and hops.
Hops are liable to change if I've not quite got enough in the freezer. :) I might knock this one out at the weekend so its going to be ready around Christmas.
S-04 or Notts?
Other suggestions (Late additions to the Willamette) for hops welcomed too :)

:) I need to use up over a kilo of Amber at some point, might have to be a Stout/Porter with a load of Black malt.. Hmmm
 
Let us know how it goes. I'm going to make one up using more brown I think and probably extra dark crystal and or crystal wheat as I don't think I have any regular in.
 
This is what I went with today. I'm using up some malt I've had in stock for a while and I didn't have any normal crystal.

23l
1.058 OG
1.014 FG
Recipe Bitterness 35 IBU Alcohol by Volume 5.6%
Recipe Color 22° SRM Alcohol by Weight 4.4%

3.20 kg Maris Otter Malt
1.76 kg British brown
0.30 kg Crystal Wheat
0.15 kg Crystal Extra Dark
0.50 kg Rauch malt

yeast recultured from Fullers Bengal Lancer

edit to include brewlength and yeast selection
 
Re: the fullers yeast btw, the wort I discarded from the starter tasted quite fruity, hopefully it will take off OK. If it doesn't get going I'll pitch some S04 tomorrow as it is about all I have in at the moment.

OG finished at 1055 but I think I was a bit longer than 23l so efficiency is probably about right
 
I've just weighed my malts out, look good, lots of nice dark colours.
Decided I'm going to use Sovereign Hops :)
Probably end up with s-04 myself.
 
either tomorrow or Sunday, probably try and do a quick brewday so 60min mash & boil :)
 
cool! Do you adjust your BP volume if going for a 60 min boil or are you happt to just end up with more beer at a lower OG?

I'm hoping to get another batch of 4SOS on tomorrow. depends how tired I am as I am on a night shift! :(

Although Kim did point out that I could get the mash on, go for 40 winks and then get up sparge and boil! :D

I really should get round to marrying that girl! :D
 
BP Volume? Do you mean Post Boil? BeerEngine works it out for me, I always do a 60min boil though usually a 90min Mash.

Good lass, the wedding do would give you a good reason to brew loads too ;)
