Quick and Tasty Porter

Quick and Tasty Porter

Robust Porter • Extract • 5 gal

Kevin Deck

This was my first porter that I threw this recipe together at the request of a visiting friend. I didn't have much time, which is why I skipped the secondary step. Everyone loved it, and I've made a few more batches since. I think it is similar to Anchor Porter, but with a little less chocolate flavor. Enjoy.
