Procedure:
Bring 1.5 gal water to 152F. Steep specialty grains for 30 min, then remove. Bring to boil, then turn off heat, add malt extract, and bring back to boil, stirring frequently. Add 7g Willamette, boil for 45 min, add 3.5g Willamette, boil for 5 min. Add flocculant, boil 10 min. Turn off heat. Chill pot to 72 degrees. Rack wort to secondary pot with 2 drops Fermcap-S. Rack wort to carboy. Aerate.
Hydrometer reading (Original Gravity) = 1.055
Top off volume to one gallon. Pitch yeast. Fit air-lock.
Fermentation:
Fermenter is at 72 F and started bubbling within a few hours--still very strong at 24 hrs. Bubbling has slowed dramatically after 36 hrs. Allow 2 weeks.
Bottling:
After 2 weeks fermentation, rack to bottling pot.
Hydrometer reading (Final Gravity) = 1.020 ABV = (1.055 - 1.020) x 131.25 = 4.6%
Add priming sugar. Filled 8 - 12oz bottles. Allow 2 weeks, then refrigerate.
Notes:
Very nice. Similar to Holy City's Pluff Mud Porter, but slightly hoppier.
