Northern Brewer Chipotle Porter Recipe AG

My lord is this beer good. I totally recommend it. Og was about 1066 FG 1013. Sweet/smokey taste in the beginning then a nice smooth burn in the back of your throat in the end. I cut 5-6 chipotle peppers and put them in a muslin bag for 4 days. This results in the perfect heat for me. Great beer for a cold winter season too. Today I will be racking to my keg. Should be ready in 3 days.

How long from grain to glass?

I did 3 weeks. If you bottle you're looking at 4-6 weeks.

Sounds good even without the peppers added. Been meaning to experiment with peppers, I'll have to add this one to the list.

Do you use dried Chipotle peppers, or the canned variety in adobo sauce?

I used the canned with sauce but I rinsed them before adding to the beer.
