I'm looking for something a little smokier than Stone Smoked Porter, but not as smoky as a Schlenkerla Rauchbier.
+1 - If the recipe contains chile peppers... I had this Smoked Chipotle Porter once that was out of this world! I would rather add 1 toasted chipotle per gallon for a warm aroma steep, than in a secondary, which I don't normally do.
--------------
I'm going to partial mash this one, so mash temperatures aren't a huge concern for me. But feel free to post your all-grain examples if that's all you have.
I have never made a porter before, but I was thinking:
51% Muntons XL DME
21% Fawcett Pearl
11% Weyermann Munich II
9% Muntons Chocolate
5% Briess CaraBrown or Roasted Barley
3% Alderwood Smoked Munich
7-8% abv range - below 1.014 FG.
Approx. 45 IBUs - not a lot of character from the hops... just enough bitterness so that it isn't sweet. But I wouldn't be opposed to subtle spicy/piney/earthy. No fruity or citrusy though please.
