Caramel 120L (Briess)

120° L Briess Malting - Briess Caramel, or Crystal, 120L is used in Red Ales and in beers where you want a heavy caramel flavor contribution. Will contribute deep red hues to the color of your beer. We usually put 1/4 to 1/2 pound per five gallons in Bock beers.

Porter (hopefully smokey) (E)
Brewed on 2013-04-20

Recipe is another take on B. B had no real body and wasn't smokey/roasted enough. Altering the steeping grains to see if we can get a fuller body and more roasted flavor. Everything else will stay the same as much as possible.

Pecan Brown (CL)
Brewed on 2024-08-16

This beer is being made for NCHF. Dave P. gave the idea of using pecans and the recipe comes from Harry which originally was from a Grain Trust meeting. Pecans are added at packaging time and some of the Maris Otter is toasted before mashing. Due to time constraints, I'll be doing an overnight mash.
