My first beer was a porter. They are an extremely forgiving style and you should have no problem with it.
I love a good porter and was my first all grain beer that I did. Like carnevoodoo said, it is a very forgiving beer for the most part.
Have you picked out a recipe or anything?

Porters are good are forgiving. All dark beer is forgiving as they can mask problems that might arise.

THanks guys. I havent picked a recipe yet. Someone gave me a book called ClassicBeer StyleSeries: PORTER. It has some recipes in it. But if anyone has one they can recommend I would be very appreciative.
I recently brewed Austin Homebrew's Session Series Brown Porter. It's fantastic, and it was ready to drink in 17 days, just like they say (I kegged and force carbed it).

I don't have a recipe for you, but this is interesting in that the porter might not be that much different from the brown ale. Use the same hops, same yeast, just try making minimal adjustments to the grain bill to see how they affect the final product. This would be the 'educational' way to do it. Or you could just go English with this one.

If you want, pick a recipe from the book you might want to brew and post it. We'll let you know what we think.
My very 1st beer is the "Ironman Porter" it is still in my primary.I am really looking forward to the Sampling. Can you add a twang or a hoppy robust to the Porter before secondary or transfer to Bottling ? Yes I too am starting to love this hobby !

I just brewed Jamil's robust porter and it came out great.
A ProMash Recipe - Robust Porter
Jamil has some other good recipes on that site as well. It tastes good at first but gets unbelievable better at about the 2 month mark. Try Smuttynose's Robust Porter if you've never had one before.
