I am a big fan of Porter. My previous batch of
The President's Porter came out well. I decided that I would make a regular Porter. I am interested in moving into all-grain brewing, but I also had some malt extract from an old brewing kit that I wanted to use. So I decided to make a mostly all-grain porter with the exception that I would use up the remainder of the extract I had. I adjusted the amount of grains I used using the an
extract to grain conversion.
