All Grain Porter

Description:

This recipes is based on Papazian’s “Silver Dollar Porter.” I suspect the difference in quality between this batch and an extract batch is going to be the difference between fresh-brewed coffee and instant. The wort had a much better hot and cold break than I’ve ever experienced using extracts, and it tasted better too.

Ingredients:

• 8 pounds, American 6-row (Klages) malt
• 1 pound, Munich malt
• 1/2 pound, crystal malt (90L)
• 1/2 pound, black patent malt
• 1/2 pound, chocolate malt
• 1/2 pound, roasted barley
• 1 teaspoon, calcium carbonate
• 1 ounce, Northern Brewer hops (boil)
• 1/2 ounce, Cascade hops (boil)
• 1/2 ounce, Cascade hops (finish)
• Whitbread ale yeast

Procedure:

Use Papazian’s temperature-controlled mash procedure. Sparge and boil.
