Its been a LONG time since i've done a porter, and i can't find my original recipe. So, doing some research looking at difference recipes, i developed my own. I tend to like porters are the darker side, with some good hop notes to them. How does this look for a 5 gallon recipe?
11 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 1 71.9 %
1 lbs Brown Malt (65.0 SRM) Grain 2 6.3 %
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 3 6.3 %
1 lbs Munich Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 5 6.3 %
1 lbs Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 4 6.3 %
8.0 oz Special B Malt (180.0 SRM) Grain 6 3.1 %

1.0 pkg Octoberfest/Marzen Lager (White Labs #WLP820) [35.49 ml] Yeast 9 -
Beer Profile
Est Original Gravity: 1.086 SG Measured Original Gravity: 0.000 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.024 SG Measured Final Gravity: 0.000 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 8.3 % Actual Alcohol by Vol: 0.0 %
Bitterness: 34.8 IBUs Calories: 0.0 kCal/12 oz
Est Color: 23.8 SRM
*NOTE* I was planning on doing 4 versions of this
1) Basic
2) Substitude 2 lbs base malt, for 2 lbs smoked malt (not peat malt)
3) Basic + Vanilla (I have home made vanilla extract being made)
4) Basic + Vanilla, oak and bourbon
What do you think? Would this recipe do ok with all the versions I'm thinking of doing?
Cheers!
