Heres my Brown Porter recipe Im gonna try next, I think:
8lb. Maris Otter (80%)
1lb. Caramel/Crystal 20L (10%)
0.5lb. Chocolate Malt (5%)
0.5lb. Honey Malt (5%)
1-1.5 oz. US Perle first wort hopped to bitter, and 1 oz. Willamette for aroma. As always, 1728 for the yeast.
Im considering using Victory or Amber malt (maybe even special roast) instead of the Honey Malt, but I want to keep some garnet hue to it around the edges, and keep it balanced with the roast/chocolate flavors so its nice and drinkable (not overly roasty; Ive already got a single stout porter that tastes like delicious cold espresso, dont need another). Should come in around 5.2% ABV, 24* SRM, and 28-29 IBU.
