Hey all,
I have done a search and not come up with much so I was wondering if anyone had a tried and tested recipe for a porter similar to the James Squires. I am only fairly new so nothing too complicated .
Thanks

PORTER
HOGES PORTER
(Printer friendly version)
The almost internationally renowned Hoges has out done himself this time. The original recipe called for 250g of black malt grain but a bit of tweaking the recipe tamed the original acrid flavours, turning it into a great beer that's hop content really shows through. A top drop that having one is nowhere near enough.
3Kg light dried malt
500g crystal malt grain (60ebc)
350g chocolate malt grain
150g black malt
50g carafa special 3
25g Kent Goldings cones
25g Goldings hop pellets
50g Fuggles hop pellets
METHOD:- Steep the crystal grain, chocolate grain and the carafa 3 in 2L of water at 68ºC for 1 hour, trying to keep the mix within a couple of degrees of this temp, then sparge (rinse) the grains with 3-4L of hot water. At the same time as the other grains are resting steep the black grain in 2L of cold water (to avoid a really acrid taste). Place the grain juices in a pot with 10L of water, the light dried malt and the Kent Goldings cones and gently boil for 1 hour. Add the Goldings comes at the 15 min mark of the boil, 25g of the Fuggles pellets at the 45 min mark and the rest of the Fuggles at the end of the boil, when the heat has been removed. After 5 mins strain the wort into a fermenter and cool, as quickly as possible, to fermentation temp. Allow to ferment for 7 days, then rack to a secondary fermenter and allow to stand for a further 7 days. Bottle and allow to mature for at least 1-2 months before sampling.

Ok, it's an allgrain recipe, but Ray Mills' robust porter is an absolute blinder of a porter. Have a look and you'll see all the right grains for this style of beer - it's a beautiful beer!

I also love the J.S Porter and have tried a couple of kits hoping to be in the ball park of the Squires but nothing came close. Then i tried the E.S.B Fresh Wort Porter and i think its pretty much on par with the J.S Porter. Its a 15 litre drum and all you have to do is add five litres of water. Probably the best brews i have done, and easiest. Give it a go and see for yourself.
I think they are called Brewers Selection now, but same stuff.

Yep so did i and the effect of that would be ok, im not sure if it would be the same cos im pretty sure that the RRP is aged in rum barrels but you could probably hit the markearle wrote:I actually liked the JS Rum Rebellion Porter more than the original. What affect would racking onto rum soaked oak chips have?
