Notes: All the flower hops were 6 years old, vacuum packed kept in the freezer and the initial 90 minute add only stayed in to the 45 minute mark. I expect they are about 50% fresh. They were stirred as best as they could be in the confined hop spider but I suspect they did not add their full lupulin amount. I didn't want tannins and chlorophyl flavors. Future suggestion is to use bags and not the hop spider as much. Especially for flowers.

Dextrose and first dry hop addition will be at 24 hours after pitching yeast. Brown sugar addition was on second day in primary with one quart boiling water as was the dextrose.

Started out as a Pliny the Elder Clone and I went mad with using up old hops. Fingers Crossed the Flowers were not very strong.

Also, the secondary plastic fermenter had an aroma to it, but I am not willing to throw it away. Yet.

Tasting notes:
1 week in the bottle at 68 degrees F. Diacetyl nose and flavour. Juniper berries in the nose. A little hazy but nice copper colour. small amount of carbonation. Malt and bitter forward. Hop nose not so much. hop floral notes minimal. mostly just flat malty and bitter.
2nd week now kept at 60 degrees F. Diacetyl is gone in both nose and taste. Very clear copper colour and partially carbonated (good but not fully yet). No head. Noticeable sediment in bottom of bottle. Nose of malt dark fruits and juniper berries and spicy hops. nicely malt forward taste, dark fruits and junipers with lasting bitterness that starts well after sipping. This may age very well. I definitely intend to brew this again but with a different hop schedule.

Notes: OK - I have a Brewer's Best Robust Porter kit - I like hacking these. So, this time, I took 3 pounds of Maris Otter malt and I smoked it for 3-4 hours in a blend of Apple, Pecan and Hickory wood that was soaked in Fireball to try for a hint of cinnamon. Why 3 pounds? Everything I read said go big or go home.

Maybe it'll be savory...or maybe it'll be an ashtray. I'm hoping for a big, bold, smoky porter - hopefully with hints of apples or even apple pie.

I'm still debating yeasts. I raised up the biscuit malt to help with the diastatic power - It was 26/30...I know why you need DP, but I'm not so sure how much it matters in this context - this is a "dump and stir" beer kit...I'm complicating it with the smoky stuff, but I'd welcome additional gravity points. I want the end product to not be bitter with smoke, so I am trying to offset that with a more complex malt bill...much of which was already preground and in the kit and intended to steep 20 minutes...which I will now do a full mash step. I keep pushing it into Baltic porter land.

Notes: I use wehatever sparge water I need from my HLT which carries 80L - so use what I need out of that

Ferment in a 58L kegmentor with floating hose - Adding dry hops at high krausan - say 3-4 days

5 days dry hop

Cold crash for 2 days - put a CO2 connect in with around 2psi connect to avoid negative pressure.

Transfer to a 50L keg with very low pressure
