Smoke On The Water Porter

Recently I had a request from someone to do a porter because they like a good porter and have problems finding any in their area. I have a couple of porter recipes already but have been interested in trying a smoked porter out.

So borrowing from recipes from Padley123 and Nunfa1 I decided to have a go at a bit of a hybrid.

Misc

I was going for something here with plenty of flavour and some body to it so the mash is set fairly high at 68.9oC.

My efficiency seemed to be up today, I hit the 19l brew length but the OG was 1.056 instead of the expected 1.051.... no biggie

I also forgot the black malt but it was mainly for colour and I'm happy with how it turned out without it.

So here's the day in pictures:
