Be Carefull,...Drinking this smooth but robust Porter could cause you to be persuaded to do things you may not normally do. This is a simple mash (all grains at the same temp at the same time)but a lot of grain. We also added 1 tsp of gypsum in the mash and 1 tsp of Irish Moss with 20 min left in the boil. Enjoy!!
