Dominion Cup Update: This beer scored 35 and won first place in the Brown Ales and English Porters and Stouts category vs 15 entries! Lots of good comments from the judges on toasty/nutty/roasted chocolate aroma, color/clarity/head retention, creamy mouthfeel, and low astringency. One judge noted possible oxidation. I got several comments that the beer was a bit big, roasty, dark roast for the style. I may have to think about trying this in the American Porter category.
Yours sounds similar to mine. I built a recipe based on Fuller’s, which won the category at State level but did less well in the National judging, with comments about too much roasted character for style. I think it’s kind of funny as it seems like Fuller’s London Porter would probably also be regarded as out of style, but that’s BJCP. I also have thought about trying it in American Porter but I think probably would need more hop flavour ie late hopping
Thanks for the kind words. I hope to keep putting out content. This specific video on the English Porter is a recipe that I really enjoy and which I brewed more often. I have a version with minor tweaks going into the National Homebrew Competition.
I really appreciate your video, I saw some other videos but they weren't any close as clear and detailed on their explanations, they were sort of discouraging to start as a brewer but this is so clear and well detailed that I really want to try, awesome job and thank you so much for sharing this with us!
@@CascadesHomebrew Drinking my first bottle of the porter right now and it's delicious. Perfect amount of roast in my opinion. No head, but bottle conditioning isn't done yet. I just couldn't wait to try it :). I used S-04 yeast and 100% Goldings hops. Final gravity came out to 1.017, so the ABV was low at around 4.2%. Still tasty. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Looks great, well done
Hi, Nice Channel, I like It. Regards from Argentina!
Thinking of brewing this next weekend. Do you have any improvements to this since this was published?
I would say the recipe is great and a fav of mine. If you wanted to compete as an English Porter, it is a bit too roasty.
@@CascadesHomebrew Thanks for the reply. Sounds delicious and looks great. Thanks!
