Every year at this time, I start my adventure on a new brew style. I go for a year, build ffrom a base recipe and see how many true "keepers" I can get ( get about two a year that are real gems).
This year, I want to work at Baltic Porters. I do not have lagering ability which is an obvous hindrance to this style, but apparently there are a few yest strains that are supposed to work out well in this situation.
My basement will generally drop into the mid to high 50's in late Dec and stay there until the end of March - so I have a short window at the lower temps
I have a preference for rye and found a few homebrews where this was added to a Baltic and I loved it - so that is a must.
Targeting 5 gallons in the keg
Here is what I am starting with. I would apprecaite input on this one.
