Hey all, I'm about to brew a porter tonight. More like a robust porter! I am a little concerned with the numbers Beer calculus is giving me. I don't want any bottle bombs. Also, I think high gravity leads to cloyingly sweet beers right? I would rather have my porter on the sweet side more than the bitter side but not sickly sweet! Let me know what you think.
