Just dumped this into the fermenter....
Maple Porter
6 lbs DME
1 lb Crystal 60L
0.5 lb Chocolate
0.25 Roasted Barley
13 oz Pure amber Maple Syrup
1 oz Northern Brewer at 60 min, 1 oz at 30 min
1028 London Ale yeast
First question is...any comments on the recipe?
Second question is...I may have been impatient in pouring my wort into the primary because it still felt a little warm (i know, i know, i need a thermometer). I had been ice-bathing it in the sink for a good long while, I thought. I still pitched the yeast and just wrapped a towel around the plastic fermenter. Should i worry with a high starting temp? I expect it to get down around 70 by tonight....
