Ditto. Welcome! :cheers:

Welcome, many ways to brew great tasting beers. Feel free to share what works for you.

Yeah, I’m a refugee myself from another forum. I’ve lurked here for a few years garnering a great deal of info. This is a good place. I hope it never changes.

Welcome to the forum. I brewed the “wrong” way for years. There’s a lot of information and experience to gain here. :cheers:

Welcome!
Off topic, but I see in your sig. that you have 2 porters fermenting. I love porters, but so far have only brewed a Honey Porter( and have another one on-deck). I was interested in your opinion: have you brewed a favorite?

i will have to look when i get home for the recipe,ive only done 1 porter so far and a few stouts.but the porter i did do was pretty tasty.i will let you know later

You might still be told that you are wrong. Hopefully it’s done in a fashion that you don’t notice. :wink:

Looks nice! Thanks. Looks similar to one I did today, except I added 1/2 lb Brown Malt, 1/4 lb roasted barley, 2 oz. smoked malt, and 1/2 lb honey malt(it’s a Honey Porter). Used Wy1728 Scottish ale(going to rack a Wee Heavy onto the cake when it’s done)
