English Porter

Codename : Westfort Pig Dog Porterthorpe (5L) This autumn has been my season for the porters and stouts. In an attempt to use up some stock, I expanded from my usual 3.9L to a 5L batch, as I have a larger carboy to hold it. I also tried something out of the ordinary with this batch, I roasted the oatmeal...

Oatmeal Stout

Codename : Westfort Breakfast Stouthorpe Redux This is an update and refresh on my first breakfast stout. Ergo redux in the title. This is the next one in what might just become my de facto 30 minute boils. My first batch, I used 2 oz of maple syrup, and felt it was a little too sweet for my taste, so...

Oatmeal Stout

Codename : Westfort Oatmeal Stouthorpe Doing basic oatmeal stout, but used a bit of a helter-skelter of speciality malts to use up old stock. Trying something out of the ordinary, instead of doing a usual 60 minute boil, brought it down to 30 minutes. I think I nailed it.

In a similar tradition to that one, I used a bit of a helter-skelter of speciality malts to use up old stock. Trying something out of the ordinary, instead of doing a usual 60 minute boil, brought it down...

Foreign Extra Stout

Codename : Westfort Export Stouthorpe In my ongoing attempts to brew more stouts, and try more stout styles, I have arrived on a foreign extra stout. In the older British tradition it was brewed a little stronger for the export market, and tended to be a little hoppier.

English IPA

Codename : Westfort Pig Dog IPA Doing an English IPA has been in the pipeline for a while now, this will will be dry hopped. The clever name is an hommage to Monty Python’s “Holy Grail”, the exchange between the French sentry and King Arthur. 🇫🇷💨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Recipe inspiration : https://abthorpe.org/tag/ipa/ Ingredients 2 lbs Maris Otter malt (3.8L) 2.5 oz Rye malt...

Sweet Stout

Codename : Westfort Milk Stouthorpe As I have covered off most of the stout styles I enjoy drinking, it was time to try a milk stout, also known as a sweet stout. Introducing some lactose sugar sweetens the profile of the stout, while not contributing to the fermentable sugars.

British Strong Ale

Codename : Westfort Heart of Oak Alethorpe While researching recipe ideas, I discovered the notion of adding oak chips to a beer after it has completed the first week of fermentation. The title is loosely inspired by the song Heart of Oak, an anthem used by many Commonwealth navies.
