I have never done a Porter before and am trying to come up with a simple, basic recipe.
I was hoping to make something similar to an Edmund Fitzgerald, but a little less roasty.
Many of the recipes I've seen have Black Patent and I want to cut that out to cut down on the roastyness.
Right now here is my idea:
OG = 1.050
IBU = 25
Grains:
1lb Munich
1lb Crystal 40L
8oz Chocolate malt
the rest would be Light DME
I'm only going to use hops for bittering, so I'm just going to use what I have on hand which is Halletauer.
Should the 8oz of Chocolate give a roasty enough flavor for a porter? Should I add more Munich to get more of a malty flavor? Do I need to add Black Patent?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
