Home Brew Mart News Letter – May 22, 1997
Hello Brewers,
Just a short note this week. I have my recipe from the last class with the
KilnCoffee malt. The wort had a very unique burnt/coffee flavor with a bit
of a smokiness to it. I will rack the beer next week and let you know how
the finished product is.
Not much else going on in the homebrewing world right now. Hopefully we
won’t have any more May heat waves. Del Mar Fair entry forms are due by
June 13th, so get them in. The beers don’t have to be ready until the
29th, so there is still time to brew.
If any of you have missed or lost past emails, they are now posted on our
web site on the newsletter page. We will keep the four most recent emails
posted there. Check it out! Also, I am going to do new requests and
removals next week for the email list. So be patient.
On Memorial Day, Monday, May 26th both stores will be open from 11am to
4pm. So get your beer supplies then. We will be open regular hours for
Saturday and Sunday.
Not much else to say so I will wind up here. Have a great Memorial Day
Weekend and drink lots of homebrew!
Cheers
Tom
PUB UPDATES
The new Pizza Port in Carlsbad should be open no later than the end of
June. They are brewing beer up there, but just need to finish some work in
the restaurant.
Tuesday, June 3rd will be cask conditioned beer night at San Diego Brewing
Co. starting at 4pm. I’m not positive about this, but I think that the
beer is going to be the Old Town Nut Brown. Dark beers are wonderful off
the beer engine, so don’t miss it.
RECIPE
So here is my Not So Porter recipe. I basically switched out the Black
Patent and Chocolate malt that I would normally use and replace it with the
KilnCoffee malt.
8.5# Pale Malt Extract
1# KilnCofffee Malt
.5# 60L Crystal
1 oz Chinook 10.6% AA – Boil
.75 oz Ultra Flowers – Finish
California Ale Yeast
Ultra is a new flower hop variety that is similar to a Tettnanger. If you
want to use pellets, that is the best substitute. I was just trying it out
as well. When I keg this I’ll give you the full review!
Thats all folks.
