So, I've read a bit about people's brown porter recipes and there is a little divide between those who think there can be too much brown malt and those who like quite a bit of it. I'm inclined to go heavy but do not want to overdo it. I intend to enter a porter into a local comp this year and it's going to have to either be this one or possibly one I make based on my experience with this one so I need to get close with my first shot or else there's little chance the second shot will hit the bulls eye.
Here's my WIP recipe. Please help!
