Smokey Mountain Rain 3
Robust Porter • Extract • 26 gal
This is the 3rd edition of my smoked porter. Very tasty! Interestingly enough, of the 5 different kinds of yeast I used, the California Common yeast is my favorite so far. By Christmas, these should be even better. All could use a little more smoke. Should be a winner at competition.

Notes
cold steep grains 24 hrs, full in-line airation, a variation of a previous recipe that turned out well. increasing batch size. will also be using 2nd generation 1056, wlp001, & some 3rd generation wlp810 as an experiment to make a CA Lager/Porter. should provide a clean malty smoked flavor. Result are in. This is a very good beer!. Needs a little more smoke, but it is very subtle, which is the way it's supposed to be. Good thing I've got 5 kegs of it now!
