OK. So my Brother-in-law got a lot of free grain from a friend so we thought we would brew something from it, just to see if it's any good. From the List of grains he got, I thought a RIS would be great, with maybe a Porter or Dark Mild off the 2nd Runnings. Anyway, here is the recipe I came up with. Wanted to get some feedback. I will be making an Old Ale and a Northern Brown in a couple of weeks so I thought we would use the yeast cake from that to ferment this beast.
Here it is:
