So in my two years of brewing I have yet to brew a porter. So I picked up a basic recipe from Brew Brothers and went for it. It turned out ok, but I was hoping for something closer to a Black Butte Porter. I guess I should have just brewed one of those... The name is a nod to the great Johnny Cash and his song, "Hey Porter". So heres the details (which you can get in a printed form from Brew Brothers).

5 gallons

8.25 lb GW 2 Row
1 lb Crystal 10L
.25 lb Black Patent
.25 lb Chocolate
Anticipated OG: 1.052
Actual OG: 1.048
Anticipated FG: 1.017
Actual FG: 1.011
Actual ABV: 4.8%
Hops:
.75oz Fuggles for 60m
.5oz Fuggles for 10m
.75oz Fuggles at Flameout

Notes:
Smooth brewing. I did this one before we started our Cana meeting, so the two overlapped. Always good to brew with friends!
