Porter

Brewed on 02/08/2013


Water - 3 gallons
  • 2 tsp gypsum

@First Boiling (220°F) / (removed from heat)
  • 3.3 lbs dark malt (liquid)
  • .5 lb dry light malt (extract)

@Second Boiling (220°F) 
  • 1.25 oz Northern Brewer hops (flavoring)

@30 min.
  • 1/2 oz Fuggle hops (flavoring)
  • 1 tsp Irish Moss

@55 min.
  • 1/4 oz Fuggle hops (aromatic)

Fermented (6 days):
  • 1 pkg dry ale yeast

Bottled with 2.5 oz Corn Sugar
  • 6 days at room temperature

TASTING NOTES:
It was intended to be a stout, but due to its lack of pronounced roasted malt flavor, it came off as more of a porter.  Which, as Davina would say, was a "major disappointment", but after a few weeks in the bottle is still enjoyable.
