So if you live in the Dayton/Cincinnati area, you may know that a lot of breweries have started popping up in the last few years. Mad Tree, Eudora, Toxic, Warped Wing, Rivertown, and about 5 others including Rhinegeist. I've had Rhinegeist's Porter a few times, and it is just great. It is pitch black, so smooth it's almost creamy, and lots of smooth chocolate.
Below is their description of it:
So I thought, why not try and make a clone! They list their malts (although 'Crystal' is just soooo descriptive ) and their hops. I've never made a straight-up porter, though I have made a pumpkin porter kit, a breakfast stout, and a handful of browns, with decent success. Below is what I've drawn up. It is a partial mash and I get about 72% efficiency with stovetop BIAB.
I'd like some feedback if what I have would hit the description there. I'm hesitant on using both chocolate malts (one or the other may be more suited), and I picked Crystal 120 so I could keep my total adjunct percentage low to still hit a nice SRM number.
Thanks!
