Brewer's Best Robust Porter

Date: 1-26-08
Brewing Music: Pearl Jam - Live On Two Legs
Brewing Beverage: Dos Equis Amber Stay thirsty, my friends.

I moved the Pilsner into the secondary tonight.

Next, I started a Porter from a make-shift brewer's best kit. It smells great as it's boiling right now. Taking the advice of someone who commented here, I'm going to order a kit from Austin Home Brew online and see how it works out. Also, I've made arrangements to attend as brew-off in early March so I can see how people have set up their all-grain systems. A little sampling won't be too bad either.

All malt, very dark and bitter. A great dark ale combining crystal and chocolate malts for a great tasting brew full of flavor and body.
