This beer could have used a bit more bottle time than i gave it. I would shoot for al least 3 weeks bottle time and you should have a tasty dark smokey beer. The head of the beer is a dark almond color and is quite appeasing to the eye.

For me the beer came out VERY dark (in the 30's range) but the calculator i used put it in the 12-13 range. I also believe the calculator put the IBU in the 34 range.



(not the best photo, but you get the point)

Sorry Guys! Wrong section. This is definitely not a wheat beer!

EDIT: Thanks Mods!!!!

that looks and sounds really good. Either my next batch or the one after that (or both at the same time) will be a porter and I have been looking for a good extract recipe. I think I may try this one.

Use a blow off tube instead of a air lock, when the safale starts fermenting, its a workhorse.

Let me know how it turns out!
