Good extract porter recipe?

[heywolfie1015]

So, I have to make a porter for a mid-July party (long story) and was curious for any good extract recipes? I don't have time to do a full AG in the near term, but can probably squeeze in an extract if the recipe is right.

Thanks!

What sort of porter? English or American? Strong or weak?

 

[heywolfie1015]

Fair questions. English, and sessionable. Since it is for a party, I want people to be able to have more than one. Thanks.

Here is a tasty brown/mild a friend of mine did: http://desjardinbrewing.blogspot.com/2010/05/dennis-american-mellow-3-aka-pacific.html he used US-05, but I might go 1968 if you want to put make it fully English (the malt/hops are already there).

I forgot to mention, just swap out the Maris Otter for English Pale Extract (DME or LME).

Something like:
4 lbs DME or 4.5 lbs LME
.5 Chocolate Rye
.5 CaraMunich
.3 Carafa

1 oz. Fuggles at 60 mins

I brewed this a couple of weeks ago from my own recipe. I haven't tried it yet as it is still sitting in primary but it should work well enough.

~7lbs Pale Malt LME
3/4 lb chocolate
1/2 lb crystal 110
2.5 oz roasted barley
1 oz Willamette (60 minutes)
3/4 oz Willamette (5 minutest)
s-o4 yeast
OG 1.058

So now that I look at your request for something that is sessionable, this may not be it! Maybe for another time or just cut down the amount of LME.
