Notes:
My first mistake was when reading the CJOHB I was looking to
combine the sweet and dry Porter recipes; instead of taking the
either/or of the bittering hops, I read it as "and". Thusly, I
came out with a highly hopped (surprise!!) Porter. However, the
initial tasting showed it to be pretty darned good. There was
enough flavor from the Patent and Chocolate Malts to offset some
of the bitterness in the new brew.
I let the batch sit for about 2 1/2 months after bottling and
more of the bitterness appears to have been absorbed into the
flavor over that time.
The beer came out with a crispness which was partially covered by
the sweetness of the malts. I believe I cam out pretty close to
what I was trying for with this one.
The only problem I had was that some of the bottles (about 1/3 of
the total) spewed on me when opened. Since it only occurred in
some of the bottles I assume there was a sanitation problem with
the bottles, rather than with the entire batch.
I am sure I will try this again, perhaps only altering the amount
of the initial hops in the boil (and insuring properly clean
bottles!!).
Enjoy!
