You might have a better shot in the 'recipes' section of this forum.

If I remember rightly, the James Squire porter has quite a strong roasty flavour, so you might try using a Cascade Chocolate Mahogany Porter kit, and steep about 50g of Roast Barley. I suspect it might come out a bit sweeter than the JS one, perhaps use 500g dex and 500g LDME with it to keep the body lighter and increase the apparent bitterness.

P.S. The James Squire Brewhouse down the docklands has the ingredients of each beer on the wall... if I remember rightly the porter one is in the hallway that leads to the toilets. Of course, they don't have how much of each ingredient you need on the wall...

I made one of these little babies after my first taste of JS, and it blew me away.

So like the Morgans Black Roasted? That would make a lot more sense.

the one in the CBD has it just inside the front doorway. On the right hand side of the door as you look out, if i recall correctly.

I introduced myself to that fine establishment on tuesday night. best night in ages.

I love the James Squire Porter as well so i tried doing the Brewers Selection Porter, I think the same guys that done the E.S.B Brewery Fresh Wort.
Its only been in the keg over a week but tastes great. Also its the easiest beer to make, just add five litres of water. Even i havnt stuffed it up. I think the best tasting homebrew i have had!!

I was there on Tuesday... In the window seat to the right of the door as you look out the door. I don't think I had my recipe shirt on that day...

bugger, wish i'd known, would have said hi

will advertise when i'm going there next time. i'll have to pick a prominently slogan'd t-shirt

Alternatively, we could pick a day and advertise it, then see who turns up.

Previously when I did this, it resulted in three people - my wife and I plus one other who I am sure would prefer to remain nameless...

like the sound of it. will have to book a time a bit down the road though, got a lot of things on at the moment. my car's just kicked the bucket so i've just sorted some stuff out and am picking up a 2002 dual fuel Magna on tuesday.

then i've got to work out selling the old bomb.. anyone want an '89 ford laser ghia with a half-rooted gearbox?

Well, if it is only half-rooted...

Is it a KE?
