I've never done porters or anything dark before but I've liked the flavor and I wanna try making some of my own
As for the base malt, I can only get my hands on pilsner malt or Vienna malt
I wonder if I can use Vienna malt as the base malt since I like my beer to taste as malty as possible, but I've heard it has less diastatic power, I just don't know if that's enough to cover all the starches from the specialty malts too
And as for specialty malts, I can only get black patent, pale chocolate and crystal malt
One more thing, I have a 8L container which I'm going to use as fermentations vessel for this project, I'll fill it up to about 7L
How much water and malt do I need to mix in together to get a rich 7L mash in the container? And by rich I mean malty and sugary
