Notes
slowly been aquiring these ingredients, now I know why this sounds good. Keep your boil down to 20 minutes and use filtered water from your fridge or distilled water if you use DME or LME. CaraAroma was actually the Franco-Belges Kiln Coffee Malt of about the same Lovibond (150-180L). I highly recomend this malt for porter! Warrior hops were also Summit hops. I know: such a waste of a strong hop in a 20 minute boil, but the short boil is essential when using Extract. The final product was incredible! The guys I brew with and the gals loved this one! I used 3/4 cup priming sugar, and that was too much. Next time, only will use 1/2 cup or maybe I didn't wait until final gravity was reached. I plan on re-doing this one in record time. I usually just move on, but this one is one of my favorite in almost 2 years of brewing! It also is such a quick one to make using DME instead of all-grain.

silver in the porter category at the Peterson AFB Home Bew fest in 2008. The guy who beat me won best in show, so I at least lost to a good beer!
