Recipe Notes

Modified Clone of "Portland Haystack Black Porter" from /Beer Captured/

Conversion is wonky. Took the amount of 2-row in the all grain version and multiplied by 0.75 and then had to reduce some more to attain a similar OG and FG (1.055 / 1.015 in the book). Mash temp was 156⁰F in the book which seems to favor longer less fermentable sugars? No idea what the Malto Dextrin contributes to the gravity, but it appears to not be fermentable anyway.
