Hey sons! We’re planning a porter that we want to so soon, but have available for around the holidays, so I figured I’d post it here and get some feed back on the recipe and pick the groups brain before we brew it. It is… 10lbs of marris otter , 1ln brown malt, 1lb Choco wheat, 1/2 lb crystal 60 and a third of a lb black patent. We we’re going to use Nelson got the hops 1oz at 60, and .50 at 10 and 0. Mash on the high side at 156. What do you think? This recipe is not set in stone, and will likely be scaled up to a ten gallon batch. Thoughts? Cheers! Scott

Everything looks to be good except for maybe the black patent. If it was me, I might consider dropping it. I still haven’t brewed what I would consider a really good porter, but with fall coming it’s on my list of upcoming projects. The problems I’ve had in the past have been too much dark/roasty flavors in my recipes and they kinda come out more like a stout and not quite as smooth as I think a porter should be. But it’s your beer, so ultimately it’s your decision. I like the hop choices, I look forward to trying it when it’s done.

I think you’ll be ok using some black patent. It will be more of a robust porter. I’m curious how those hops will work with this style. I’ve been thinking of adding oats to my porter for the same reasons one adds them to a stout.

I’m liking the recipe as well but agreed with keeping an eye on the black patent. Fran, I also like the idea of using oats. If so, perhaps lightly toasting them to bring out the oaty goodness. Look forward to trying it whenever it’s ready.
