East Wing Porter Pre-Brew Notes
0 Comments Published by Doug September 16th, 2006 in Ale, Liberty, Northern Brewer, Porter, Wyeast 1084XL, all-grainPorter. Not much more you need to say about it. The weather is getting cooler and i’m running low on homebrew. The time has come.
Fermentation will take place in the kegerator with the external thermostat set to 70F. I will also be fermenting in a carboy for the first time.
Starter: No starter this time. I got a Wyeast activator XL pack. Should provide me 100 billion cells. I’m not feeling lazy, just trying to simplify.
Taking all this into account, let’s look at the line-up:
8 lb Crisp Marris Otter
1 lb Crystal Malt (40L)
1 lb Munich Malt
.25 lb Black Patent Malt
.50 lb Chocolate Malt
1.5 oz Northern Brewer pellet hops (boil)
1 oz Liberty pellet hops (aroma)
1/2 tsp Irish Moss
1084XL Irish Ale Yeast

Marris Otter. I love this stuff. Other grains were ganked from Jamil’s podcast on Porter and by looking at Porter recipes.
Not gonna lie here, got these from keystone. I made their porter kit a while back and liked it so much. Those guys know what they are doing.
Yeast
Irish ale yeast. It was all I could get my hands on. Should be fine. I’ll run it around 70. I want it to finish nice and dry.
