Hi everyone. I'm looking for some assistance from some more seasoned brewers than I. Im trying to find a home brew version of George Washington's Porter recipe. The only thing I can find on Google is the actual transcript of the recipe, but it appears to be a HUGE batch size(30 gal) and im only setup for 5 gals. Has anyone heard of this and has a grain bill & recipe or can someone translate this into one?
Take a large Siffer [Sifter] full of Bran Hops to your Taste.
-- Boil these 3 hours then strain out 30 Gall[ons] into a cooler put in 3 Gall[ons] Molasses while the Beer is Scalding hot or rather draw the Melasses into the cooler & St[r]ain the Beer on it while boiling Hot.
let this stand till it is little more than Blood warm then put in a quart of Yeat if the Weather is very Cold cover it over with a Blank[et] & let it Work in the Cooler 24 hours then put it into the Cask
-- leave the bung open till it is almost don[e] Working
-- Bottle it that day Week it was Brewed."
