I brewed 5 gallons of Porter in the backyard yesterday. It was 100 degrees and my neighbor likes a nice Porter, so I took advantage of a beautiful day to brew a batch for him. Here's the process..
The recipe... (I did a full boil...)
Bittering hops... added during the boil
Aroma hops...added in last minute of boil and during cool down (wort chill)
Aroma hops (my favorite!)
The yeastie beasties...
10gal boiling vessel. Note the temp gauge and ballcock valve...
170 degrees and climbing. I can bring 6 gallons of water to boil in 30 min using the King Kooker and natural gas...
