Looking for Evolution's Lucky 7 Porter recipe

[njs170]

Does anyone have a recipe for Evolution's Lucky 7 Porter? I love this beer and would love to try my hand at making it. On their site it says....

Beer Profile:
ABV: 5.8%
IBU: 24
OG: 14.5
Hops: Willamette, Styrian Golding, East Kent Golding
Malt: Pale, Crystal, Choc., Black Smoke, Pilsner, Roast Barley

But I don't have the skills to know the amounts I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'll be watching this. Lucky 7 is really good. My favorite from them is the Lot 3 IPA. Probably in my top 3 all time!

Here is my guess at it (first time making a recipe)..... I am still new to brewing so please point out what you would change. I need to research more about the hops and grain amounts before i try this.

I used beersmith to make this.

I may be visiting the brewery this weekend. If so , maybe I can get some help. I have a friend that works in the brewery itself. He's the guy adding the hops in the picture on their website. If I can I want to try to do a Lot 3 clone. Mine would be extract as I am only 2 batches in to this fun hobby. I'll see if I can get pointers for your recipe as well.

Went to the brewery today. My friend said he would talk to the brewmaster about getting a scale down recipe for both beers. I can tell you that you chose the right yeast. He told me that was the one they use.

That is awesome! Thank you for doing that for us!

At least I got one thing right. Not bad for a newbie!

Any word?

Not on the Lucky 7 brew sheet. I have the brew sheet for Lot # that is for 1200 gals. I may get back there to see him in the next week or so. I don't know if they will give me the other brew sheet but will ask.

 

[njs170]

Still that is awesome. I wouldn't mind taking a look at that if you don't mind sharing. Its ok if you don't want too. Thanks man!

 

[stoneyts]

I would be willing to email it to you but I don't know if they would want me posting their recipe to the public. I also have the main recipe ,but, don't have the schedule for their dry hopping. I know what kinds of hops , just not the time line.
