Need some experinced opinions on a recipe I'm working on with a fellow home brewer. Trying for a very big porter style to age for about six months.
Will US-05 go to 12.8%? Looking for a great sipping beer with porter like notes of the roasted barley.
10 gallon batch
20# Pilsen DME
8# Dark DME
2# Crystal 120
1# 2 row base
1# Black Patent
.5# Chocolate
2oz Warrior (15.8%) @ 90
3oz NB (9.4) @ 60
2oz NB (9.4) @ 30
6oz Cascade (5.5%) @ 5
6oz Cascade Dry Hop
Maybe some Oak chips
Yeast US-05
81 Ibu
12.8% abv
What do you guys think?
