This is a beautiful beer/recipe and deserves the accolades it’s been getting. I’m at the 70 day mark of it being kegged and it’s one I’ve been cherishing. Pairs well with an open fire. Thanks David

Just subscribed, and can I say many thanks to David for the way you deliver your videos. No boring loud background music, just you explaining about the topic of the video you have chosen. I've been brewing all-grain for a number of years but gave it up about 4 maybe 5 years back, sold my BM, but I'm now back brewing. Bought a Karlstein just to get me started again, and as I like a dark beer I can see me brewing this recipe in the next month or so....again many thanks...back to the rest of your vids.

Fantastic video. Thank you! Showed this to a friend who is just getting into making beer recipes. He subscribed immediately. :)

This recipe looks great I will try it soon. I brewed my first porter earlier this year after 6 years of brewing, it was more an American style (Sierra Nevada clone) and it came out very good, want to try an authentic English style now. Thanks for the video !

[kenfowler]

Thanks David, I have developed a taste for the dark beers since I started brewing all grain. Another great video and definitely a recipe I’m going to try! Cheers

[lucasonthegrind]

I'm going to brew it this saturday. Thanks for a great informative video and recipe guide.

Just in Time...I planned a porter for my next brew day. Thank you David!

I am starting my homebrew carree and I found that these vids helps me to understand reciptes and try to make my own. It is perfect with history part.

[scottnau]

Great video David, I’ll definitely be using your recipe when I brew my first porter. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see some more videos like this profiling the style followed by a recipe.

I only compete with myself when it comes to anything. I do everything so poorly that it is easy to come away victorious at the awards banquet. Great vidya David. With all do respect, Mrs. Heath wins all apparel competitions for sure if she sticks to the outfits she wears at the conclusion of your vidyas. Cheers. Thanks buddy.

[Cojak]

Great to see the finished product! Want to brew porter myself soon so this was a big help. Cheers

[adamh.]

I really appreciate your videos. I am sharing this hobby with a friend and your videos have been helpful in teaching him.

[karrea]

Thinking I may brew this before winter, thanks David!

The recipe I came up with 15 years ago is almost the same as this, and I always separate the dark grain without fail.
