This porter is packed with flavor but has a smooth finish. This is a great base beer to use if you plan to play around with other flavors such as Coconut, Hazelnut, Vanilla, Chocolate or Coffee.
YEAST: This beer will do well with either a direct pitch of Omega West Coast or a pack of dry US-05. If you prefer Wyeast 1056, we recommend making at least a 1 liter starter. Select your preferred yeast as an add on in the accessory list. If you plan to bottle condition, be sure you have 4-5 ounces of priming sugar. You can purchase that as an accessory as well. For emphasis: This kit does not include yeast, it must be selected from the accessories list on the right. Assuming 70% efficiency into the boil kettle: Est Original Gravity: 1.061 SG Est Final Gravity: 1.013 SG Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 6.2 % Bitterness: 31 IBUs Est Color: 35 SRM Mash at 152F
Total grain weight is just over 13 pounds and 2oz of noble hops.
Other acceptable modifications to this recipe:
- Add one extra pound of 2 Row malt to boost ABV by .5%
- Add 4oz of Cocao Nibs to add to secondary fermatation to turn the beer into a chocolate/vanilla porter.
