Hairy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Not off the top of my head. But here is a thread that may give you some ideas: Porter Recipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi Scott, Can highly recommend the porter recipes in the link as above...they produce a seriously nice beer, easy to make. I put down another porter last night based on those recipes, i bumped up the choc malt to 350g and roasted barley to 120g just to see what happens. the sample was sensational! cheers steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottj2 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Thanks Hairy for the recipe and thankyou Steve for the recommendation. Have either of you used Hops in a Porter before?[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Scott, I have never made a porter before. But I have tasted quite a few; I like porters. Standard porters tend to have lowish hop characteristics ie. not a huge hop flavour or aroma. If you are using hops then the English hops would probably suit the style. Something like EKG or Fuggles. I really like EKG hops and use them in my English Bitters. They are a nice mild, subtle hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I haven't used any hops in my porters, haven't found they needed any more flavour. But follow Hairy's good advice re English hops if you do... cheers steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weggl Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Steve posted this one. I love English Bitter. And stout. Is a porter somewhere in between? Would welcome any critique on this planned porter recipe (from another website): Coopers English Bitter tin 300g Choc malt 100g Roast Barley 200g Medium Crystal 1kg of DME (light/dark?? wasn't specified) Yeast US05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi Guys, I put this one down the other day. At first I wasn't sure what style it might be until I did some reading on beer style guidelines. Turns out this one fits nicely into the "robust porter" style. Campfire Porter 1.7Kg OS Stout 1.7Kg English Bitter 200g Smoked Malt 200g Dextrose 23L water 14g Cooper's Ale Yeast (rehydrated) OG 1.054 It's a simple one and I would say it would lend itself to variation.

weggl Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Chad ain't got no smoked malt, how do you reckon 200 of chock malt would go instead? Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi weggl, I think I would have thrown some chocolate malt in if I had some. I've never used this smoked malt before. I'm looking forward to giving this one a go. It'll be another fine one for the winter. I have been stockpiling some rich, hearty brews as of late. I'm still looking to put down another stout in the next little while so they have a few month on them before Ol' Man Winter stops by for a nip!

weggl Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I have a can of Coopers dark malt extract that I don\u2019t know what to do with. So I have been thinking along the Porter lines and wondered what you mob might think of this, Can E/Bitter Can Dark M Extract 200g Choc Malt 23L Some Fuggles, boil for how long, how much? Thought that it might be too sweet without an extra amount of hops and Fuggles seems to be the hops used in English beer. The above should turn out around the5% mark. Any suggestions?

PB2 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Plenty of bitterness in the IS English Bitter so you could use the fuggles just as a dry hop addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks Paul, how much Fuggles do you reckon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Depends on how overt you want the hop character to be - anything from 0.5g to 1g per litre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
