Iron Porter
A couple weeks ago I came up with this recipe for the kind of porter that you just cannot find any more.
But I took that recipe and substituted in my own homegrown Mt Hood hops.
Not really knowing the IBU, I planned for the highest alpha, but if they were even as low as half of what they should be they would fit in nice with the porter style
You really need some sort of bag when using whole hops or they tend to plug things up.
Iron Porter – homegrown
9 lbs 2 row
12 choc malt
4 oz black patent
1 oz roast barley
8 oz crystal 80
2.5 oz dried Mt Hood @ 60
2.5 oz dried Mt Hood @ 10
Mashed at 152
05 yeast
** skip ahead to bottling day**
OG of .058
FG of .010
Had to hold my self back from drinking to much if this right from bottling bucket. Once carbed this is gonna be one great beer. I think I hit it right where I wanted it. Slight roasty and just the right sweet. The IBU seems in the mid range of the style.
But we will see once it’s fully ready
