So my wife loves malty beers especially porters. I decided as my first AG brew I would attempt to make the maltiest beer possible just to see how much malt flavor it is actually possible to obtain (within reason). Below is the BeerSmith printout of the recipe. I'm hoping to get any suggestions or tweaks before I brew it next weekend. If it turns out well I'm going to fool around with first wort hopping the next one like orfy's hobgoblin. Any thoughts on that? Thanks in advance.
