This was my shot at a Maple porter; loosely based on (more like inspired by) Jamil's Robust porter recipe.

Ingredients (All Grain5.5 gal)

  • 5 lbs American 2-row

    American 2-row

    Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

  • 1 lbs Weyermann CaraMunich® III; Weyermann

    Weyermann CaraMunich® III; Weyermann

    Provides body. For Oktoberfest, bock, porter, stout, red, amber and brown ales.

  • 1.5 lbs Melanoidin Malt

    Melanoidin Malt

    Red Ales

  • .5 lbs American Black Patent

    American Black Patent

    Provides color and sharp flavor in stouts and porters.

  • .5 lbs Chocolate Wheat Malt

    Chocolate Wheat Malt

    Intensifies aroma; improves color. For dark ales, alt, dark wheat, stout and porter.

  • 3 lbs Maple Syrup

    Maple Syrup

    Imparts a dry, woodsy flavor if used in the boil. If beer is bottled with it, it gives it a smooth sweet, maple taste. Use in maple ales, pale ales, brown ales and porters.

  • 1 oz Hallertauer Tradition - 6.0 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Hallertauer Tradition

    Fine, 'Noble'.

  • Lallemand 3767 Windsor

    Lallemand 3767 Windsor

    Estery to palate and nose, slight fresh yeast flavor. Ales are described as full-bodied, fruity English Ales.

Notes

I chose an english ale yeast, and fermented cool to keep the attenuation down (with all that syrup in there, this one is all about the residual sugars). This is nevertheless a little thin & dry IMO; next time I'll increase the caramunich & melanoidin. Some crystal 60 might also be a nice addition.
