London Porter Recipe

London Porter Recipe For Home Brewers

This is the recipe for our London Porter. We don’t mind publishing these, there’s no ‘secret sauce’ to these recipes and part of the pleasure in brewing beer is sharing – so we are sharing all our recipes. If you brew the beer let us know, and if you want to buy a recipe kit it’s here: London Porter Recipe Kit

All of our recipe kits are designed to use a starting volume of 23lt, which should yield 18lt into the keg or bottles, and a brewhouse efficiency of 70%. This is the complete recipe, it can be scaled to suit any batch size.

Porter is an intriguing beer style and we were very pleased to design a kit from a customer request; and we found ourselves so intrigued by the style that we brewed it in the shed and immediately installed it as a firm favourite. It’s like a stout without the rasping bitterness that makes stout such a ‘marmite’ style – people seem to love it or hate it and there’s not much middle ground. Porter, or at least our version of it, is a lot softer with a real mellow bitterness and lots of deep chocolate notes; a cracking beer.

Note that the dry hop addition is very optional with this one – we don’t add it when we brew but it’s included in the kit; up to you!

Fylde Homebrew – Hops and Malts for Homebrewers

Hops and Malts for Homebrewers

As lockdown eases our supply lines are opening up and we are able to add more products to the inventory and enable us to better support our thriving local homebrewing community. Our aim is to be able to supply hops and malts for homebrewers across the Fylde Coast from our stock here in Thornton.

Hops for homebrewers wise, we currently carry Magnum, Cascade (both UK and US versions) Bramling Cross, Fuggles, Goldings and Chinook. We should have some Citra arriving next week although anyone who wants Citra hop pellets should take a deep breath; they are coming to us at 4.5 times the cost of any of our other hop pellet stock!

In malts, we have Maris Otter, Extra Pale Ale, Munich Malt, Caramalt and Torrified Wheat. We should be adding rolled oats with our next delivery, which we use a lot of over here in the brewshed, and we are always looking to add to the inventory.

We also carry several complete all-grain recipe kits and are happy to make them up to order as well; if you have a recipe you want to brew we can probably make up the kit for you.

As we come to understand what’s needed we will add products wherever we can find a supply, 500ml beer bottles at £7.20 a dozen with crown caps for instance, keep an eye on the site and our Fylde Homebrew Facebook page and drop us a message if we can fill a gap!

Shed Beer – brewing locally, brewing sustainably, delivering locally. Supporting homebrewers across the Fylde Coast
