My buddy wants a Yuengling Black and Tan clone. It's basically their Porter and Lager mixed together. I was thinkin about using Pilsner as half the base malt with 2 Row (4 pounds each). Recipe below. If it looks a bit thrown together it's because I have all the ingredients and he's not expecting perfection.

It's not going to hurt anything, but I doubt you'll be able to taste the difference and you obviously won't see the difference in a dark beer.
 
Troegs dead reckoning porter is pilsner malt based. It's a great porter as well. Go for it. It'll turn out fine
 
A little DMS shouldn't hurt a porter recipe too much but you might bump your boil to 75 mins or more
