Ag Porter

[manaen]

I want to make a porter for my second ever AG .. SFPA was the first that is still in primary (5 days in primary @ 18 deg C .. funny medicine tang)

Anyway does anyone have a recipe for a porter that I can borrow?

I am hoping to use up some ingredients:

40g Cascade
500g Carapils

Probably just use S-04 to keep the cost down

Any ideas?

Hey thanks sintax69, I will keep those recipes for the next one.

Here is the recipe I ended going for .. the chocolate malt content is pretty high but I'll have to see how it goes:

AG Chocolate Porter
AG Mash, full boil, 3.5kg Marris Otter, 500g Carapils, 500g Flaked Barley, 500g Caramalt, 500g Pale Chcoclate Malt.
Cascade 5.7% 40g @ 60 mins, wirfloc @ 15 mins, Cascade 15g @ 0 mins. 90 min boil.
SG 1.049 (23L)

When I checked it tonight it had already dropped tp 1.014 since saturday night .. got to love that
