Put grains in a grain bag. Bring 3 gal to 160F, and let steep for 45min. Remove grains, bring to boil. 60 min boil, add hops as scheduled
I like the target hops - they add a nice "earthy" tone to this beer. however, this one turned out decidedly on the bitter side, so tone down to maybe 1oz at 60min if you like them a little sweeter.
Rocket, are you boiling the Perle for 60 min. and the Fuggles at the last 5 min.?
I really like that Fuggle hop, made an IPA with it that turned out so tasty and aromatic...

Yep! That's it exactly!! I've been enjoying Fuggle as well, which is why I made that change!
The bad thing is.... the Porter is gone...

Laundry Room Porter
This is a basic recipe that I keep playing with and track changes.
Amber LME - 7# (6.6# if you buy the small cans)
Roasted Barley - 1/4#
Chocolate Malt - 1/4#
Crystal 120L - 3/4#
Hops:
Bittering - Fuggles (60 min)
Aroma - EK Goldings (3 min)
(I change the hops almost everytime. These are the ones in the original recipe)
Yeast - White Lab British Ale
(I use Wyeast, this time I'm gonna try #1098)
I steep grains @ 150 in 2 gals water for 30 mins, and then a 60 min boil.
This is a fun recipe to play with to try different hops and yeasts.

a brown porter, all grain. This had a little sharpness on the back end and I hesitated to post the recipe.....but after it sat in my chest freezer for a couple months that seemed to go away. So here it is:
brown eyed girl

Calories (12 fl. oz.) 189.8
Cost to Brew $47.25 (USD)
Cost per Bottle (12 fl. oz.) $0.44 (USD)
8 lbs. Maris Otter Pale
8 lbs. American 2-row
2 lbs. British Crystal 55°L
.5 lbs. English Chocolate Malt .5 lbs. Belgian Special B
.5 lbs. Special Roast Malt WK
1 oz. Cascade (Pellets, 5.50 %AA) boiled 60 min.
1 oz. Willamette (Pellets, 4.0 %AA) boiled 40 min.
1 oz. Willamette (Whole, 4.0 %AA) boiled 20 min.
1 oz. East Kent Goldings (Whole, 4.1 %AA) boiled 20 min.
1 tablespoons irish moss (not included in calculations)
Yeast : Danstar Windsor
If i had it to do over again, I'd use a different yeast. I'm actually thinking one of the White Labs Scottish varieties might be nice & bring out the sweetness of the malt a little more. I might do all EKG as well. The American 2-row is Consolidated's "Craftbrewers" malt.
This is a ten gallon recipe, BTW.....so cut it in half
Oh--and i kegged this, and carbed with about a third of a cup of corn sugar per keg.

Cheers! Rocket
Rocket,
My brother-in-law wants to brew a porter with me, and yours looks really good. I was wondering though how much it would change if we added a couple of vanilla beans?(He is partial to vanilla porters)

Have you done this recipe? How did it turn out. I love porters, especially a local here called Pigs Ass. I have only brewed with kits and want to venture out to doing one from scratch now that I know of some sources. Could you please (in some detail) give me the recipe.
Thanks

One good beer deserves another and of course another
Here's a recipe that I'm working on with a general target of something like Anchor Porter. I pitched in onto a yeast cake from a steam lager, and it uses a full 2 lb of brown malt, which gives a rich but mellow flavor. A little calcium carbonate was added to both the mash and sparge water. SWMBO has decided it's one of her favorites.
Edit:
I bought a bottle of Anchor Porter and did a side-by-side. AP is actually a little darker than this recipe and slightly sweeter. This recipe comes across slightly more full-bodied and has a noticable chocolate aftertaste. Hops are a minor flavor component in both brews. So this still needs a little tuning if it's going to be a clone, OTOH I really like mine better. Decisions, decisions...
