new style needed

[ibrewthereforeiam]

I brew just about everything. I'm hoping I can get a new style on tap at my house. Let's leave fruit out of this conversation haha. Nothing that contains fruit. Summer is half over...we will be moving into fall soon. I'm thinking of a fall style beer. I have my oktoberfest beer already going...I'm thinking something different. Here's what I usually brew for fall. Chocolate rye brown ale...Rye amber ale...Oktoberfest obviously for oktoberfest...90 shilling scottish ale. Those are my staple brews for this time of year. Anybody have any entertaining ideas?

A Galaxy Single Malt & Single Hop (SMASH) is always a treat.

Looking at what you normally brew maybe the recipe below. Otherwise how about something smokey?

Taken from this thread on Jim's but originates from Ron Pattinson. His blog is well worth a look IMO.

1867 Barclay Perkins East India Porter

ALL-MALT GRAINBILL:
64.15% = 8.50 lb = 3.86 kg, Pale Malt
16.98% = 2.25 lb = 1.02 kg, Crystal Malt 60°L
15.09% = 2 lb = 907 g, Brown Malt
3.77% = .5 lb = 227 g, Black Malt

MASH at 152º F/66.7ºC
SPARGE at 168º F/75.6ºC
BOIL 90 minutes

HOPS:
2.5 oz = 70.9 g, Goldings, 90 min
2 oz = 56.7 g, Goldings, 60 min

FERMENT AT 65ºF/18.3ºC

STATS (assuming apparent attenuation 70.91%):
OG: 1055
FG: 1016

That's some recipe TM, I like your use of Goldings! :thumb:

Not my use EV! I haven't even brewed this one, but I would certainly go with the Goldings if I did. They seem appropriate for a historical recipe and they are a very fine hop IMO.

I have tried one of these brewed by Barney on Jims with some variations on the grain bill as below (you can find it in the same thread):

4KG Mild ale malt
1kg Pale Crystal
1kg Home Roasted Brown
250g Black Malt
75g Beech Smoked malt

I think the recipe from Ron would be a cracker on the basis of that tasting and a bit of guess work.

A bit of smoked malt (say sub 500g for 500g of Pale Malt) would work well in the original recipe IMO. At that level the smoke isn't too dominant for me and I think it adds a nice bit of complexity to a porter. I tried this approach a while back and really liked the results. See here

Glad to be of help. I'd be interested to see a brewday thread and tasting notes if you do go for it.

Yes, actually I would love to do that. I already have a sessions worth of pictures during a brewday. I guess I could post those up. It would be cool for people to see what I actually use for a session.
