This was my first all grain recipe, hit the numbers dead on, AWSOME!:rockin:


I will update the tasting section when i get to taste it.

I know i may be out of the OG range and ABV range for the style.

this is technically a baltic porter. i didn't realize it til i ran it through software. it is very tasty, watch it, it sneaks up on you. very similar to dfh indian brown ale. i know the hops are different, and probably the grain bill, but it tastes very close to the dfh indian brown. very good.

This beer scored 30.5 in the Indiana brewer's cup. Yay for me
