Recipe of the Week: Pigskin Porter

Today we have a recipe from an award winner brewer, me. This recipe took first place in the Porter category at the Peterson Airforce Base Homebrew Competition back in February. I entered this as a brown porter but I believe it is somewhere between a brown and a robust porter.

1 oz US Northern Brewer 8.5 AA 2 minutes

Ferment:
