You will notice that there is some DME in the recipe due to my mash tun being 5 gallons. Maybe a 10 gallon tun is in my future.

It is. It was my goal to do all six recipes this summer.

I had to tweak the recipe a bit. I substituted some grains for DME because I have a 5 gallon Mash Tun.

I will say my favorites have been the clones of: Stone Pale Ale, Stone IPA, Stone RIS, and the Oatmeal Stout. I'm still not sold on the smoked porter yet. Maybe I just need to bottle it from the keg and let is sit six or twelve months.

I need to take a picture of the SG as well... But I am usually doing the SG with a refractometer.

I brewed the smoked porter clone from BYO. I thought it was a fantastic brew, after maybe a month of aging it tasted dead on to the real thing.

The problem could be that I've never tasted the original. Maybe I should go out and buy a bottle to compare. It could be that I just have a problem with the smoked peat...

Looks fantastic. I wonder if you could put a few crushed up ment leafs in a herb ball, let it get a little mint flavor to go with the chocolate.
