American Porter
Time to brew a porter I think. I have plenty of American hops so this will (hopefully) be a nice hoppy American Porter.
Grain Bill:
3.9kg Maris Otter250g Chocolate Malt
100g Roasted Barley
125g Carafa III
230g Rolled Oats
I have used standard porridge oats, not flaked oats as usually used in homebrewing. Oats should add a creamy texture and a bit of body to the beer so I hope this works.

Hops:
15g Galena 13.2% - at start of boil
45g Cascade 8.1% - 15 mins from end
20g Mosiac 12.5% - dry hop for 4 days
25g Cascade 8.1% - dry hop for 4 days
45g Cascade 8.1% - 15 mins from end
20g Mosiac 12.5% - dry hop for 4 days
25g Cascade 8.1% - dry hop for 4 days
Yeast: Fermentis Safale S04 - 1 pack
Mash:
This was a BIAB recipe as usual.
Mash water volume 30lt
Mash for one hour at 66°C
Results:
I got 23.5lt in the fermenter, a bit more than anticipated but at least I get more beer. OG was 1.047, efficiency 77% (very good for me). I should end up with around 4.7% abv.
Update 31/03/2017:
The final gravity reading was 1.013, a couple of points higher than anticipated, so I got an ABV of 4.42%. Now conditioning so I'll taste it in a couple of weeks.
