So I brewed something close to your recipe, and it's finally carbed and ready. I just cracked the first one today. What I ended up brewing (partly by mistake, partly by what was available from my LHBS) was this: 5 lb pilsen DME 2.5 lb 2-row 1 lb pale wheat .5 lb C20 1.5 oz cascade @ 60 mins 1...

This has turned out terrible. I think the yeast threw all kinds of off-flavors. The smell of it kind of ashy and a bit like rubber. I'm having a hard time placing it, but I'm trying to avoid the word "band-aid" because I know that means polyphenols and I'm pretty sure that's what it is, but I...

I really loved that brew, but it was hard for me to find even when I lived near Baltimore. Now I live near New York and my hopes of encountering it again are dashed. It is perfect for spring time, you're right. For me it accompanied gardening. I can't brew AG, so I'll be trying a partial mash...

Did you end up making this? How did it come out?

This will be my second brew, and I would like to do a coffee porter. I formulated a partial mash recipe based on what I read from a selection of recipes (several from this forum), but wanted some input, particularly on the subject of extract vs. partial mash. My first beer was partial mash, but...
