Plum Porter with Ringwood yeast

Post by Ren » Mon Oct 13, 2014 7:18 am

Hello!
I wanted to try to brew beer with fruit so I decided on Plum porter,although I will split it in half and add Plums only to half of the batch.
I am a bit worried about Ringwood yeast stalling or finishing too high.
Has somebody tried special B in porter, did it bring out black fruit flavors. I love Belgian beers so thought it could do well in something that has more roasty chocolate flavors.
Can you please critique my recipe:

There's an intersting thread about Special B in the Malts and Grits section: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=68339

For what it's worth, I've used it in a Mild and it turned out great, noticeably fruity.
