Nutty flavor charateristic in all grain porter

kristophelr · Oct 2, 2011

Ust attempted my first all grain brew. It was or was supposed to be a porter. I tasted it out of the primary ferm. and it had an almost overwhelming nutty characteristic. What did i do wrong? Please help.

I would blame the brown malt. That's not a very common ingredient in porter, as it's very nutty flavored. I'd say your recipe is suspect. Crystal malt and chocolate malt are usually in porter, but without some stronger balance from the chocolate and crystal, the brown malt can take over and be pretty strong.

I think it'll fade though!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll let set in the secondary ferm for 2 weeks, keg it and hope for the best. Thanks again

I might have gone with half of that brown too... but it should still be good beer I would drink without flinching

That's almost the same as Jamil Z's brown porter. Let it mellow a bit.
