@EdWort Thanks for sharing this recipe. . . I just tapped this and it is honestly the best porter I have ever brewed. The wife loves it! It tastes like a good base recipe I could build on. This could become my #2 to always have on tap. Thanks again and Cheers!! Scott :mug:

I brewed this about three weeks ago. . . . two weeks in the primary, then added two vanilla beans to the secondary and moved it there. Checked it last night after a week in the secondary and it smells and tastes GREAT!! I will be cold crashing this later this week then kegging it the day...

A buddy of mine and I just made some bread with spent grain from a porter I just did and it came out great! Wondering if anyone has ever used beer yeast in the bread as well? If there is a thread on this somewhere please point me to it. Cheers, Scott

Alright. . . thanks so much @DJTroz for letting me know this was actually available here in DFW. My original reasoning for brewing this was that it sounded good and I thought I could not get it here, so I went at it myself. So many beers here, I just never saw it. . . So I went at lunch and...

Will be doing a side by side taste of the real thing tonight. . . I'll let you know how close it is. Cheers, Scott

I had a similar thought. I think it would be worth a try. . . as it is now it is drinking quite well, just not overbearing on the citrus. If you try it out, please let me know. . .I will consider it.

Well - this came out pretty good. Not the best I have ever brewed, but solid. I was not entirely surprised, but the majority of the orange flavor from the concentrated OJ fermented out. There is a very subtle fresh citrus flavor that comes through, but I am guessing that is the hops. Not...

I am thinking about brewing this for my wife. I am going to add some vanilla bean to the secondary, per the previous suggestions. The other thing I was thinking about doing a little different was instead of kegging this, bottling it and using a bourbon barrel aged maple syrup for priming this...

Just kegged it up yesterday. . .really happy with the results. Should be able to report back fully in a couple of days.

I decided to try concentrated OJ . . . the recipe called for a liter, I decided to cut that by a third. I added 2 cans ($2 each) of good minute maid pulp free frozen concentrate at flame out. It is in the secondary now and I will be kegging it in about a week. I will let you all know how...

Just reporting back. . . it was so simple. I had ****ed up one of my CO2 connections whilst pushing the beer through the filter. Black to Black. . . daisy chain. . . lesson learned. Cheers, Scott

Just brewed this over the weekend. . . . I used two cans of pulp free minute maid frozen orange juice at flame out. OG came in a bit higher (1.0730) than expected, I am guessing this is because I used concentrated OJ vs the concentrate that the Brewmaster used. . . keep your ear to the ground...

Hi All - I have started using tap water to brew my beer with decent results. I have simply been adding camden tablets to the water to offset the Chlorine. I am interested in taking this to the next level and have obtained my local water report. Anyone out there interested in taking a...

I was considering a similar approach. I have 1 liter or three cans of good frozen orange juice...what do you think? Maybe reduce that by 1\3?

Just curious if you brewed this and how you dealt with the concentrate?
