Meantime London Porter

[schlafsack]

I'm going to try this recipe for Meantime's London Porter from the Can You Brew It podcast. However, I'm ~500g short on the amount of munich. Is there any way I can increase the amounts of the other malts to compensate. I was thinking of maybe 350-400g of pale malt with maybe 100g more crystal?

Im gonna be brewing a recipe based on this on Sat! maybe a little extra crystal?

I'd just replace the missing Munich with pale - Vienna, biscuit or aromatic if you have it.

So how was the outcome of this recipe chaps? I am loving this porter, surprisingly light and drinkable.

He specifically said the Munich was a British Munich and not necessarily a normal Munich at the beginning of the grain bill...

He said closer to a 20L amber or victory malt

Brew day thread and recipe HERE

It is a truely awesome porter. The grain bill looks a bit manic but the beer does not taste muddled at all.

Well worth a go!
