Potent Porter

Potent Porter

Robust Porter • All Grain • 19 L

Graham Sanders

This is a porter closer to the style that may have been served in the 1800's. You can make it more realistic by souring 500ml of the wort with lactic bacteria eg from a small amount of yoghurt for a week, heat to 80c for 10 minutes to kill bacteria, and add to main fermenter.
