Anchor Porter Clone?

I'm getting some all-grain equipment for Christmas and I'd love to try to clone Anchor Porter for my first AG batch, it's my favorite Porter by far. So, do any of you have a good recipe?

Thanks in advance,

Here's the Anchor Porter clone recipe from Beer Captured.

11.25 lb. US 2-row Pale Malt
6 oz. US Dextrin Malt
13 oz. British Chocolate Malt
12 oz. US 60L Crystal Malt
4 oz. US Black Malt
1 oz. Roasted Barley

3/4 oz. Norther Brewer @ 9%AA (bittering)
3/4 oz. Cascade @ 5%AA (bittering)

1 tsp. Irish Moss

Wyeast 1056 American Ale, or
Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale

Is this for a 5 gallon batch or ten?

I can't possibly see that before for more than 5 gallons. Anchor's Porter is pretty heavy

Just brewed this. Mashed at 154. Ill report back with out come later, but so far it tastes great.

TCO,

Shows how far beer captured is off. They can't even get the yeast right and that is the simple part. Need to use WY 1272, which is the strain used for Anchor and the strain anchor uses in this beer

I used White labs California V, which mrmalty also say's is anchors.

Yup that works too

how can I find out what the malt bill is in the AHS kit? can't seem to find it on the site. does anchor use the same yeast strain in their liberty ale, porter, and their christmas beer? I've had all three recently, and there are some wonderful similarities. I really love the porter and the holiday beers. would love to try and brew some clone versions....

im brewing this one right now. anybody know what og to aim for? togabear how did yours turn out?

It turns out really well, and I got an OG around 1.065. I changed a few things, like using Anchor's Yeast (California V) and using Maris Otter instead of American 2-row.
