Just looking to see any thoughts on this combination, thanks! Lot's of flavor explosion.

All Grain Recipe:

8 oz Brown Malt
4 oz Black Patent

1oz Northern Brewer 60 min
1 tsp Irish Moss 15 min
1 oz EKG 10 min

1.5# honey @ Flame out

Mash @ 152 deg for 60 min

Yeast: Wyeast 1028 or Nottingham Dry

OG: 1.058
FG: 1.012



Thanks for any thoughts on this!

If you want a touch of honey, add honey malt.

Adding liquid honey will boost your abv, but leave little to no honey flavor.

I prefer my porters with a tad more body, so I would mash a bit higher.

Colo, do you think 8 oz of honey malt would do the trick? I'm not to sure, since I've never used that malt before. I don't want it to overpower the beer but I can se where this may be more effective than the liquid honey.

Thanks!
