My dad loves his porters and stouts so I want to brew up a porter for the upcoming fall/winter. I scaled this recipe up from a Basic Brewing episode:
It ends up being almost 7% black patent and I know it has a reputation of being ashy and I'm wondering if I should sub de-bittered black malt. Any other input would be appreciated as well.
