That yeast strain is my favorite! For fresh mint I've had success either with using a tincture, or with expressing the oils and mixing in about 20-30 minutes before kegging (any longer and it starts to get funky). Alcohol is a great solvent for the flavorful/aromatic oils in mint. I'll have to try the mint tea idea though! That looked like a good way to get a different array of mintyness.
Yum, I need to add mint stout/porter to my to-brew list, would be perfect for Christmas but have it ice cold also perfect for summer too, versatile beer.
I'm cooling off a mint mocha stout/porter (not sure which it is here) as I watch this. I will be using extract, cocoa nibs, and coffee in the secondary.
@@DrHansBrewery OMG 😍😍😍😍😍😍🍫🍫🍫❤️❤️❤️I am pregnant 😭and I came across your video 🤣since I am looking for mint chocolate and still nothing😤 I could not find anything poor my baby🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣no chocolate ahahhaha 🍫 thanks for your video
@@user-sh7ur6zv8v When you're not pregnant again. I'm told it will pass... You should try to brew that beer. It's amazing for a mint chocolate junkie like you! 😉
Very good. I may just have to make one of these myself. I'll add lactose, though. Did I understand you correctly? You didn't put the cacao nibs in the boil, but rather in at the end of the fermentation?
Looks epic! However i think it's far too carbonated for a porter. Porters and stouts are far better with minimal or even none additional carbonation with priming sugar. :) Keep up the good work. :)
You're right it is more carbonated than you're a average porter. I like my beers a little fizzy. Thats what's cool with homebrewing. You get to decide everything. Cheers and thanks for watching. This was an amazing brew. Do try the recipe out if you want.

Damn that beer looks good in the glass, I really need to start kegging. Chocolate good, mint chocolate better! No sign of the package yet but I'm still hopeful.
Hej. Jag undrar över din syresättningsutrustning. Skulle du kunna berätta lite om den? Vilka delar behövs (minst och lämpligen)? Var köper man de lämpligast och till lägst pris? (Jula har väl syrgas för svets?) Hi. Wondering about your O2 setup. Would you like to tell me/us a bit about it? What parts do one need (required and recommended)? Where do you recommend buying it at the lowest price (Guess mostly applies to your swedish viewers.)?

The mint tea worked great. And it was 100%mint (95Spear mint & 5% green mint).

Yes, ice cold it's really minty and as it heats up the chocolate gets more pronounced. Brew it!
Looks like a wonderful beer. I love your grain-to-glass videos. I know they take a while to put together. Cheers, Sir!
Thanks, yes they do. Thanks for watching.
Another winner Dr H, cheers Mate, Mike. 🍺🍺
Thanks, cheers Mike!
Good job brewing, and those mint ,chocolate adjuncts you added. Cheers !
Thanks Ron, Cheers!

Brilliant grain to glass Dr, I'm sticking mine in the fridge right now and it will be my Friday treat.👍🍻
You go girl!
DrHans Brewery wish i was closer to this community to share beers
Great grain to glass as usual and cranking the abv up for the winter sounds like a good idea!! CHEERS! 👍🍺😝
Cheers!
Greetings from Mosinee Wisconsin What a great idea. I'll also attempt a mint IPA. Love your videos
Thanks! Definitely need to brew a mint porter again. Havent brewed a mint IPA. Cheers!
Wow. Ive also got mint growing in the garden. I may just have to knock something like this up.
Great work pal. 👍🏼🍺
Cracking job nice brew day I brewed mint porter and found the same needed to be a higher abv. Love the vids keep them coming cheers

Once again great video Dr.Hans, brewed your brown ale last week, looking forward to the tasting, cheers Scott
Thanks! Let me know how it turned out. Cheers!
That looks exquisite.
It's a really great beer. Do try the recipe out!
Love watching your channel mate definitely going to make a porter inspired by this recipe
Auz Tiger Brew Boy Cool, Thanks!
Very good. I may just have to make one of these myself. I'll add lactose, though.
Did I understand you correctly? You didn't put the cacao nibs in the boil, but rather in at the end of the fermentation?
Cracking video again looks super tasty, I'll have a look out for others videos to whom you've sent to.
Cheers mate hhb.
Cheers mate!

great vids mate subbed learning a lot from them 🍺🍺
victor castle Thanks, Cheers!
Jävlar, dat Swenglish :D
Hahaha Ja. Ingen hemlighet direkt vart jag kommer ifrån 😁
I feel a porter coming on.
Sweet!
What do you think would happen if I put the mint in the fermenter for the duration of fermenting?
You might get little less mint taste and aroma.
Really nice video. Loved the idea of using fresh mint...too bad you don't think anything came from it. Cheers!
Yep! But at least now I know not to add at flameout!
That's a low mash temperature for a porter or any other brew for that matter.
Mihai Mahu Not in my opinion. I adjust my mash temp to the yeast and grainbill. Cheers and thanks for watching
Where can I get the recepi for this?
And what woulf one do t8 increase the ABV on it?
Go to my website and sign up for the newsletter. This recipe is in the ebook you get for free when signing up.
To increase the ABV just use a little more base malt.
Let me know how it turns out if you brew it. Cheers!
Can you post the ingredients and instructions of this brew please?
I will fix it for you shortly!
Why didn't you add the dark grains towards the end of the mash like you have in other videos? Or do you only do that in stouts?
Just checked my notes on this. I did ad the chocolate wheat with the rest of the grains but the chocolate malt vent in at mash out!
DrHans Brewery ah I see, that makes sense. Hope to try a similar brew soon, thank you sir!
Brent M Cool, let me know how it turns out. Or even better send me a bottle 😋
If it's good I'll definitely consider that. Thanks for the tips
Damn that beer looks good in the glass, I really need to start kegging. Chocolate good, mint chocolate better! No sign of the package yet but I'm still hopeful.
I'm starting to get a bit worried. Hapless got his last Thursday.
I'll go to the post office tomorrow to see if they are holding it.
Hi &how r u. did you make alcohol beer from non alcoholic or not. Please tell me if yes. thanks
sami masi Hi there! Haven't done it yet but I will do it in the future some time. Just haven't got around to it yet. Cheers!

spectratos Tja! Ja precis jag kör med gas och regulator från Jula. Diffussionsten från Humle.
ok. Tack. Ska kolla vad de har för regulator.
Sounds like a nice beer, would you say you got anything from the fresh mint, cheers
Don`t really think so. Cheers!
I really wish the wife could stand mint, if even just a little.
This was like drinking an After eight!
I think she would hate that but it sounds kind of awesome for deep winter
