Additions and timing:

Magnum (13% AA) 15g @ 60m

Secondary additions and timing:

Add 100g whole bean coffee (not included) in a sanitised muslin bag and hold at ambient/20C for 1 day.
Crash chill to around 5C, package as per your usual process.
Our total coffee infusion time is 3-4 days, so packaging around day 8 or 9.

Yeast: S-04
Fermentation temperature/steps: Ferment at 20C for 5 days or until activity slows and target gravity reached (S-04 works fast!)

Comments:

As a thank you from Andy Parker for the support shown to him and his brewery he decided during the COVID19 outbreak in 2020 to share some of his recipes with the home brewing scene.

Elusive Brewery take on a classically-styled London Porter, with the addition of freshly roasted single-origin Hasbean coffee.

The latest version used Balmaadi Biodynamic Washed coffee from India for notes of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, black tea, treacle and walnut.
