Next Meeting - Feb. 12 at the Gaslight, 3 PM
It's a home brew porter taste test! Now what exactly is a porter?
Porter is said to have been popular with transportation workers
of Central London, hence the name. Most traditional British
brewing documentation from the 1700’s state that Porter was a
blend of three different styles: an old ale (stale or soured), a new
ale (brown or pale ale) and a weak one (mild ale), with various
combinations of blending .
Today's porters are typically brewed using a pale malt base with
the addition of black malt, crystal, chocolate or smoked brown
malt. Hop bitterness is moderate on the whole and colour ranges
from brown to black.
